Modular Neural Networks and Reinforcement Learning

چکیده

We investigate the effect of modular architecture in an artificial neural network for a reinforcement learning problem. Using the supervised backpropagation algorithm to solve a two-task problem, the network performance can be increased by using networks with modular structures. However, using a modular architecture to solve a two-task reinforcement learning problem will not increase the performance compared to a non-modular structure. We show that by combining a modular structure with a modular reward signal the network learns significantly faster.

Modular SRV Reinforcement Learning Architectures for Non-linear Control

This paper demonstrates the advantages of using a hybrid reinforcement–modular neural network architecture for non-linear control. Specifically, the method of ACTION-CRITIC reinforcement learning, modular neural networks, competitive learning and stochastic updating are combined. This provides an architecture able to both support temporal difference learning and probabilistic partitioning of th...

معرفی شبکه های عصبی پیمانه ای عمیق با ساختار فضایی-زمانی دوگانه جهت بهبود بازشناسی گفتار پیوسته فارسی

In this article, growable deep modular neural networks for continuous speech recognition are introduced. These networks can be grown to implement the spatio-temporal information of the frame sequences at their input layer as well as their labels at the output layer at the same time. The trained neural network with such double spatio-temporal association structure can learn the phonetic sequence...

Inter-module credit assignment in modular reinforcement learning

Critical issues in modular or hierarchical reinforcement learning (RL) are (i) how to decompose a task into sub-tasks, (ii) how to achieve independence of learning of sub-tasks, and (iii) how to assure optimality of the composite policy for the entire task. The second and last requirements are often under trade-off. We propose a method for propagating the reward for the entire task achievement ...
