On Average Versus Discounted Reward Temporal-Difference Learning
We provide an analytical comparison between discounted and average reward temporal-difference (TD) learning with linearly parameterized approximations. We first consider the asympt...

General Discounting Versus Average Reward
Consider an agent interacting with an environment in cycles. In every interaction cycle the agent is rewarded for its performance. We compare the average reward U from cycle 1 to ...

Sensitive Discount Optimality: Unifying Discounted and Average Reward Reinforcement Learning
Research in reinforcementlearning (RL)has thus far concentrated on two optimality criteria: the discounted framework, which has been very well-studied, and the averagereward frame...

Continuous-Time Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning
Hierarchical reinforcement learning (RL) is a general framework which studies how to exploit the structure of actions and tasks to accelerate policy learning in large domains. Pri...
