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...
Two notions of optimality have been explored in previous work on hierarchical reinforcement learning (HRL): hierarchical optimality, or the optimal policy in the space defined by ...
Research in reinforcementlearning (RL)has thus far concentrated on two optimality criteria: the discounted framework, which has been very well-studied, and the averagereward frame...
We introduce a class of learning problems where the agent is presented with a series of tasks. Intuitively, if there is relation among those tasks, then the information gained duri...
Hierarchical reinforcement learning (RL) is a general framework which studies how to exploit the structure of actions and tasks to accelerate policy learning in large domains. Pri...
