Model-free reinforcement learning as mixture learning
We cast model-free reinforcement learning as the problem of maximizing the likelihood of a probabilistic mixture model via sampling, addressing both the infinite and finite horizo...

On step sizes, stochastic shortest paths, and survival probabilities in Reinforcement Learning
Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a simulation-based technique useful in solving Markov decision processes if their transition probabilities are not easily obtainable or if the probl...

Sample-Efficient Evolutionary Function Approximation for Reinforcement Learning
Reinforcement learning problems are commonly tackled with temporal difference methods, which attempt to estimate the agent's optimal value function. In most real-world proble...
