Efficient Exploration through Intrinsic Motivation Learning for Unsupervised Subgoal Discovery in Model-Free Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning
arXiv:1911.10164
Abstract
Efficient exploration for automatic subgoal discovery is a challenging problem in Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning (HRL). In this paper, we show that intrinsic motivation learning increases the efficiency of exploration, leading to successful subgoal discovery. We introduce a model-free subgoal discovery method based on unsupervised learning over a limited memory of agent's experiences during intrinsic motivation. Additionally, we offer a unified approach to learning representations in model-free HRL.
