We examine the problem of Transfer in Reinforcement Learning and present a method to utilize knowledge acquired in one Markov Decision Process (MDP) to bootstrap learning in a mor...
The application of Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithms to learn tasks for robots is often limited by the large dimension of the state space, which may make prohibitive its appli...

Potential-based shaping was designed as a way of introducing background knowledge into model-free reinforcement-learning algorithms. By identifying states that are likely to have ...
Reinforcement Learning (RL) is the study of programs that improve their performance by receiving rewards and punishments from the environment. Most RL methods optimize the discoun...
One of the central challenges in reinforcement learning is to balance the exploration/exploitation tradeoff while scaling up to large problems. Although model-based reinforcement ...
