Inverse reinforcement learning (IRL) infers/derives a reward function from observed behavior/demonstrations, allowing for policy improvement and generalization. While ordinary "reinforcement learning" involves using rewards and punishments to learn behavior, in IRL the direction is reversed, and a robot observes a person's behavior to figure out what goal that behavior seems to be trying to achieve.
