Closed-loop control relies on sensory feedback that is usually assumed to be free. But if sensing incurs a cost, it may be coste ective to take sequences of actions in open-loop m...

R-max is a very simple model-based reinforcement learning algorithm which can attain near-optimal average reward in polynomial time. In R-max, the agent always maintains a complet...
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 an efficient "sparse sampling" technique for approximating Bayes optimal decision making in reinforcement learning, addressing the well known exploration vers...

We explore dynamic shaping to integrate our prior beliefs of the final policy into a conventional reinforcement learning system. Shaping provides a positive or negative artificial...
