The experimental source code and data produced for this thesis are freely available as open source software and are available in the following repositories.

adityak77/deft-data — Training dataset for "DEFT: Dexterous Fine-Tuning for Real-World Hand Policies", an approach that fine-tunes an affordance prior from human videos for real-world kitchen tasks.
adityak77/rewards-from-human-videos — Our method learns an agent- and domain-agnostic representation that can be applied as a zero-shot reward function for robotic control.
adityak77/inpainting — Various segmentation and video inpainting approaches with the objective of use towards reward learning. Accompanies code for Rewards from Human Videos.

This repository is based on Ellis Brown's thesis repo, which started from Brandon Amos's thesis repo, which was based on Cyrus Omar's thesis code, which, in turn, was based on a CMU thesis template by David Koes and others before.
