Abstract: We present a novel method for imitation learning for control requirements expressed using Signal Temporal Logic (STL). More concretely we focus on the problem of training a neural network to imitate a complex controller. The learning process is guided by efficient data aggregation based on counter-examples and a coverage measure. Moreover, we introduce a method to evaluate the performance of the learned controller via parameterization and parameter estimation of the STL requirements. We demonstrate our approach with a flying robot case study.
