Lawson and colleagues propose TD-Aug, a data augmentation method that trains a geometric horizon model with temporal difference flows and uses its samples as imagined goals for goal-conditioned behavior cloning.

To improve zero-shot goal generalization of behavior cloning (BC), the authors propose TD-Aug.
