— The aquisition and improvement of motor skills and control policies for robotics from trial and error is of essential importance if robots should ever leave precisely pre-struc...
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...
The goal of Reinforcement learning (RL) is to maximize reward (minimize cost) in a Markov decision process (MDP) without knowing the underlying model a priori. RL algorithms tend ...
In this paper we propose a model for human learning and decision making in environments of repeated Cliff-Edge (CE) interactions. In CE environments, which include common daily in...
Temporal difference (TD) algorithms are attractive for reinforcement learning due to their ease-of-implementation and use of "bootstrapped" return estimates to make effi...
