Reinforcement Learning (RL) is the study of programs that improve their performance by receiving rewards and punishments from the environment. Most RL methods optimize the discoun...
There exist a number of reinforcement learning algorithms which learn by climbing the gradient of expected reward. Their long-run convergence has been proved, even in partially ob...
This paper discusses theoretical and experimental aspects of gradient-based approaches to the direct optimization of policy performance in controlled ??? ?s. We introduce ??? ?, a...
R-max is a very simple model-based reinforcement learning algorithm which can attain near-optimal average reward in polynomial time. In R-max, the agent always maintains a complet...
Most formulations of Reinforcement Learning depend on a single reinforcement reward value to guide the search for the optimal policy solution. If observation of this reward is rar...
