Policy Evaluation Networks

Jean Harb, Tom Schaul, Doina Precup +1

Many reinforcement learning algorithms use value functions to guide the search for better policies. These methods estimate the value of a single policy while generalizing across ma…

When Waiting is not an Option : Learning Options with a Deliberation Cost

Jean Harb, Pierre-Luc Bacon, Martin Klissarov +1

Recent work has shown that temporally extended actions (options) can be learned fully end-to-end as opposed to being specified in advance. While the problem of "how" to learn optio…

Investigating Recurrence and Eligibility Traces in Deep Q-Networks

Jean Harb, Doina Precup

Eligibility traces in reinforcement learning are used as a bias-variance trade-off and can often speed up training time by propagating knowledge back over time-steps in a single up…

General Policy Evaluation and Improvement by Learning to Identify Few But Crucial States

Francesco Faccio, Aditya Ramesh, Vincent Herrmann +2

Learning to evaluate and improve policies is a core problem of Reinforcement Learning (RL). Traditional RL algorithms learn a value function defined for a single policy. A recently…
