Learning with Value-Ramp

arXiv:1608.03647

Abstract

We study a learning principle based on the intuition of forming ramps. The agent tries to follow an increasing sequence of values until the agent meets a peak of reward. The resulting Value-Ramp algorithm is natural, easy to configure, and has a robust implementation with natural numbers.
