We address two open theoretical questions in Policy Gradient Reinforcement Learning. The first concerns the efficacy of using function approximation to represent the state action ...
We model reinforcement learning as the problem of learning to control a Partially Observable Markov Decision Process ( ¢¡¤£¦¥§ ), and focus on gradient ascent approache...
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...
A number of reinforcement learning algorithms have been developed that are guaranteed to converge to the optimal solution when used with lookup tables. It is shown, however, that ...
This paper discusses theoretical and experimental aspects of gradient-based approaches to the direct optimization of policy performance in controlled ??? ?s. We introduce ??? ?, a...
