Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for training an action selection policy neural network, wherein the action selection policy neural network is configured to process an observation characterizing a state of an environment to generate an action selection policy output, wherein the action selection policy output is used to select an action to be performed by an agent interacting with an environment. In one aspect, a method comprises: obtaining an observation characterizing a state of the environment subsequent to the agent performing a selected action; generating a latent representation of the observation; processing the latent representation of the observation using a discriminator neural network to generate an imitation score; determining a reward from the imitation score; and adjusting the current values of the action selection policy neural network parameters based on the reward using a reinforcement learning training technique.
