Abstract
A method may include learning reward functions for a plurality of first vehicles based on first vehicle data associated with the plurality of first vehicles using inverse reinforcement learning, associating each vehicle of the plurality of first vehicles with one cluster among a plurality of clusters based on the reward functions, determining a centroid reward function for each of the clusters based on the reward functions associated with each cluster, performing a comparison between second vehicle data associated with a second vehicle and the first vehicle data, determining a vehicle among the plurality of first vehicles having associated first vehicle data that is most similar to the second vehicle data based on the comparison, associating the second vehicle with the cluster associated with the determined vehicle, and controlling operation of the second vehicle based on the centroid reward function of the cluster associated with the second vehicle.
