Contextual Bandit Learning with Predictable Rewards
Contextual bandit learning is a reinforcement learning problem where the learner repeatedly receives a set of features (context), takes an action and receives a reward based on th...

Reinforcement Learning and the Bayesian Control Rule
We present an actor-critic scheme for reinforcement learning in complex domains. The main contribution is to show that planning and I/O dynamics can be separated such that an intra...

Reinforcement Learning for Agents with Many Sensors and Actuators Acting in Categorizable Environments
In this paper, we confront the problem of applying reinforcement learning to agents that perceive the environment through many sensors and that can perform parallel actions using ...

Posterior Weighted Reinforcement Learning with State Uncertainty
Reinforcement learning models generally assume that a stimulus is presented that allows a learner to unambiguously identify the state of nature, and the reward received is drawn f...

Guiding exploration by pre-existing knowledge without modifying reward
Reinforcement learning is based on exploration of the environment and receiving reward that indicates which actions taken by the agent are good and which ones are bad. In many app...

Training Reinforcement Neurocontrollers Using the Polytope Algorithm
A new training algorithm is presented for delayed reinforcement learning problems that does not assume the existence of a critic model and employs the polytope optimization algorit...

Relational Reinforcement Learning for Agents in Worlds with Objects
In reinforcement learning, an agent tries to learn a policy, i.e., how to select an action in a given state of the environment, so that it maximizes the total amount of reward it ...

Emotion and Reinforcement: Affective Facial Expressions Facilitate Robot Learning
Computer models can be used to investigate the role of emotion in learning. Here we present EARL, our framework for the systematic study of the relation between emotion, adaptation...
