Bayesian Multi-Task Reinforcement Learning
We consider the problem of multi-task reinforcement learning where the learner is provided with a set of tasks, for which only a small number of samples can be generated for any g...

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...

Optimism in Reinforcement Learning Based on Kullback-Leibler Divergence
We consider model-based reinforcement learning in finite Markov Decision Processes (MDPs), focussing on so-called optimistic strategies. Optimism is usually implemented by carryin...

Direct Policy Search using Paired Statistical Tests
Direct policy search is a practical way to solve reinforcement learning problems involving continuous state and action spaces. The goal becomes finding policy parameters that maxi...

The Optimal Reward Baseline for Gradient-Based Reinforcement Learning
There exist a number of reinforcement learning algorithms which learn by climbing the gradient of expected reward. Their long-run convergence has been proved, even in partially ob...
