The Optimal Reward Baseline for Gradient-Based Reinforcement Learning
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...

R-MAX - A General Polynomial Time Algorithm for Near-Optimal Reinforcement Learning
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...

Exploiting Multiple Secondary Reinforcers in Policy Gradient Reinforcement Learning
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...
