An important issue in reinforcement learning is how to incorporate expert knowledge in a principled manner, especially as we scale up to real-world tasks. In this paper, we presen...

— This paper presents a new reinforcement learning algorithm for accelerating acquisition of new skills by real mobile robots, without requiring simulation. It speeds up Q-learni...
Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) algorithms suffer from slow convergence and even divergence, especially in large-scale systems. In this work, we develop a supervision fr...

We present metric?? , a provably near-optimal algorithm for reinforcement learning in Markov decision processes in which there is a natural metric on the state space that allows t...
The eligibility trace is one of the most used mechanisms to speed up reinforcement learning. Earlier reported experiments seem to indicate that replacing eligibility traces would p...
