Solving in an efficient manner many different optimal control tasks within the same underlying environment requires decomposing the environment into its computationally elemental ...
—Reinforcement learning is a framework in which an agent can learn behavior without knowledge on a task or an environment by exploration and exploitation. Striking a balance betw...

— 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...
Temporal difference (TD) algorithms are attractive for reinforcement learning due to their ease-of-implementation and use of "bootstrapped" return estimates to make effi...
