How Should an Agent Practice?
Janarthanan Rajendran, Richard Lewis, Vivek Veeriah +2
We present a method for learning intrinsic reward functions to drive the learning of an agent during periods of practice in which extrinsic task rewards are not available. During p…
What Can Learned Intrinsic Rewards Capture?
Zeyu Zheng, Junhyuk Oh, Matteo Hessel +5
The objective of a reinforcement learning agent is to behave so as to maximise the sum of a suitable scalar function of state: the reward. These rewards are typically given and imm…
Disentangled Cumulants Help Successor Representations Transfer to New Tasks
Christopher Grimm, Irina Higgins, Andre Barreto +5
Biological intelligence can learn to solve many diverse tasks in a data efficient manner by re-using basic knowledge and skills from one task to another. Furthermore, many of such…
Object-oriented state editing for HRL
Victor Bapst, Alvaro Sanchez-Gonzalez, Omar Shams +4
We introduce agents that use object-oriented reasoning to consider alternate states of the world in order to more quickly find solutions to problems. Specifically, a hierarchical c…
Sample Complexity of Reinforcement Learning using Linearly Combined Model Ensembles
Aditya Modi, Nan Jiang, Ambuj Tewari +1
Reinforcement learning (RL) methods have been shown to be capable of learning intelligent behavior in rich domains. However, this has largely been done in simulated domains without…
Discovery of Useful Questions as Auxiliary Tasks
Vivek Veeriah, Matteo Hessel, Zhongwen Xu +6
Arguably, intelligent agents ought to be able to discover their own questions so that in learning answers for them they learn unanticipated useful knowledge and skills; this depart…
