Semi-Markov Offline Reinforcement Learning for Healthcare
Mehdi Fatemi, Mary Wu, Jeremy Petch +5
Reinforcement learning (RL) tasks are typically framed as Markov Decision Processes (MDPs), assuming that decisions are made at fixed time intervals. However, many applications of…
Orchestrated Value Mapping for Reinforcement Learning
Mehdi Fatemi, Arash Tavakoli
We present a general convergent class of reinforcement learning algorithms that is founded on two distinct principles: (1) mapping value estimates to a different space using arbitr…
Medical Dead-ends and Learning to Identify High-risk States and Treatments
Mehdi Fatemi, Taylor W. Killian, Jayakumar Subramanian +1
Machine learning has successfully framed many sequential decision making problems as either supervised prediction, or optimal decision-making policy identification via reinforcemen…
Shortest-Path Constrained Reinforcement Learning for Sparse Reward Tasks
Sungryull Sohn, Sungtae Lee, Jongwook Choi +3
We propose the k-Shortest-Path (k-SP) constraint: a novel constraint on the agent's trajectory that improves the sample efficiency in sparse-reward MDPs. We show that any optimal p…
An Empirical Study of Representation Learning for Reinforcement Learning in Healthcare
Taylor W. Killian, Haoran Zhang, Jayakumar Subramanian +2
Reinforcement Learning (RL) has recently been applied to sequential estimation and prediction problems identifying and developing hypothetical treatment strategies for septic patie…
Learning to Represent Action Values as a Hypergraph on the Action Vertices
Arash Tavakoli, Mehdi Fatemi, Petar Kormushev
Action-value estimation is a critical component of many reinforcement learning (RL) methods whereby sample complexity relies heavily on how fast a good estimator for action value c…
Using a Logarithmic Mapping to Enable Lower Discount Factors in Reinforcement Learning
Harm van Seijen, Mehdi Fatemi, Arash Tavakoli
In an effort to better understand the different ways in which the discount factor affects the optimization process in reinforcement learning, we designed a set of experiments to st…
Hybrid Reward Architecture for Reinforcement Learning
Harm van Seijen, Mehdi Fatemi, Joshua Romoff +3
One of the main challenges in reinforcement learning (RL) is generalisation. In typical deep RL methods this is achieved by approximating the optimal value function with a low-dime…
Multi-Advisor Reinforcement Learning
Romain Laroche, Mehdi Fatemi, Joshua Romoff +1
We consider tackling a single-agent RL problem by distributing it to learners. These learners, called advisors, endeavour to solve the problem from a different focus. Their adv…
Separation of Concerns in Reinforcement Learning
Harm van Seijen, Mehdi Fatemi, Joshua Romoff +1
In this paper, we propose a framework for solving a single-agent task by using multiple agents, each focusing on different aspects of the task. This approach has two main advantage…
