This paper presents a new approach to hierarchical reinforcement learning based on the MAXQ decomposition of the value function. The MAXQ decomposition has both a procedural seman...
Successful application of reinforcement learning algorithms often involves considerable hand-crafting of the necessary non-linear features to reduce the complexity of the value fu...
— This paper shows that the distributed representation found in Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) enables reinforcement learning methods to cope with a large decision search spa...
Reinforcement learning algorithms that use eligibility traces, such as Sarsa(λ), have been empirically shown to be effective in learning good estimated-state-based policies in pa...
HEXQ is a reinforcement learning algorithm that discovers hierarchical structure automatically. The generated task hierarchy repthe problem at different levels of abstraction. In ...
