Towards Finite-Sample Convergence of Direct Reinforcement Learning
Abstract. While direct, model-free reinforcement learning often performs better than model-based approaches in practice, only the latter have yet supported theoretical guarantees f...

Finite-Sample Convergence Rates for Q-Learning and Indirect Algorithms
In this paper, we address two issues of long-standing interest in the reinforcement learning literature. First, what kinds of performance guarantees can be made for Q-learning aft...

A Convergent Reinforcement Learning Algorithm in the Continuous Case: The Finite-Element Reinforcement Learning
This paper presents a direct reinforcement learning algorithm, called Finite-Element Reinforcement Learning, in the continuous case, i.e. continuous state-space and time. The eval...

Exploiting Multiple Secondary Reinforcers in Policy Gradient Reinforcement Learning
Most formulations of Reinforcement Learning depend on a single reinforcement reward value to guide the search for the optimal policy solution. If observation of this reward is rar...

Contribution to the Control of a MAS's Global Behaviour: Reinforcement Learning Tools
Reactive multi-agent systems present global behaviours uneasily linked to their local dynamics. When it comes to controlling such a system, usual analytical tools are difficult to ...
