Incremental Natural Actor-Critic Algorithms
We present four new reinforcement learning algorithms based on actor-critic and natural-gradient ideas, and provide their convergence proofs. Actor-critic reinforcement learning m...

Reinforcement Learning in Fine Time Discretization
Reinforcement Learning (RL) is analyzed here as a tool for control system optimization. State and action spaces are assumed to be continuous. Time is assumed to be discrete, yet th...

Policy Gradient in Continuous Time
Policy search is a method for approximately solving an optimal control problem by performing a parametric optimization search in a given class of parameterized policies. In order ...

Natural Actor-Critic
This paper investigates a novel model-free reinforcement learning architecture, the Natural Actor-Critic. The actor updates are based on stochastic policy gradients employing Amari...

Parameter-exploring policy gradients
We present a model-free reinforcement learning method for partially observable Markov decision problems. Our method estimates a likelihood gradient by sampling directly in paramet...
