In this paper we define and address the problem of safe exploration in the context of reinforcement learning. Our notion of safety is concerned with states or transitions that can ...
Using multilayer perceptrons (MLPs) to approximate the state-action value function in reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms could become a nightmare due to the constant possibilit...

We consider reinforcement learning as solving a Markov decision process with unknown transition distribution. Based on interaction with the environment, an estimate of the transit...
Learning agents, whether natural or artificial, must update their internal parameters in order to improve their behavior over time. In reinforcement learning, this plasticity is ...
