Encoding and Combining Knowledge to Speed up Reinforcement Learning
نویسنده
چکیده
Reinforcement learning algorithms typically require too many ‘trial-and-error’ experiences before reaching a desirable behaviour. A considerable amount of ongoing research is focused on speeding up this learning process by using external knowledge. We contribute in several ways, proposing novel approaches to transfer learning and learning from demonstration, as well as an ensemble approach to combine knowledge from various sources.

Speeding up Tabular Reinforcement Learning Using State-Action Similarities (Extended Abstract)
One of the most prominent approaches for speeding up reinforcement learning is injecting human prior knowledge into the learning agent. This paper proposes a novel method to speed up temporal difference learning by using state-action similarities. These handcoded similarities are tested in three well-studied domains of varying complexity, demonstrating our approach’s benefits.

متن کاملReinforcement Learning Algorithm with CTRNN in Continuous Action Space
There are some difficulties in applying traditional reinforcement learning algorithms to motion control tasks of robot. Because most algorithms are concerned with discrete actions and based on the assumption of complete observability of the state. This paper deals with these two problems by combining the reinforcement learning algorithm and CTRNN learning algorithm. We carried out an experiment...
متن کاملHierarchical Functional Concepts for Knowledge Transfer among Reinforcement Learning Agents
This article introduces the notions of functional space and concept as a way of knowledge representation and abstraction for Reinforcement Learning agents. These definitions are used as a tool of knowledge transfer among agents. The agents are assumed to be heterogeneous; they have different state spaces but share a same dynamic, reward and action space. In other words, the agents are assumed t...
متن کاملThe Use of Cases as Heuristics to speed up Multiagent Reinforcement Learning
This work presents a new approach that allows the use of cases in a case base as heuristics to speed up Multiagent Reinforcement Learning algorithms, combining Case Based Reasoning (CBR) and Multiagent Reinforcement Learning (MRL) techniques. This approach, called Case Based Heuristically Accelerated Multiagent Reinforcement Learning (CB-HAMRL), builds upon an emerging technique, Heuristic Acce...
