Temporal-Difference Learning Using Distributed Error Signals
Jonas Guan, Shon Eduard Verch, Claas Voelcker +3
A computational problem in biological reward-based learning is how credit assignment is performed in the nucleus accumbens (NAc). Much research suggests that NAc dopamine encodes t…
Can we hop in general? A discussion of benchmark selection and design using the Hopper environment
Claas A Voelcker, Marcel Hussing, Eric Eaton
Empirical, benchmark-driven testing is a fundamental paradigm in the current RL community. While using off-the-shelf benchmarks in reinforcement learning (RL) research is a common…
MAD-TD: Model-Augmented Data stabilizes High Update Ratio RL
Claas A Voelcker, Marcel Hussing, Eric Eaton +2
Building deep reinforcement learning (RL) agents that find a good policy with few samples has proven notoriously challenging. To achieve sample efficiency, recent work has explored…
When does Self-Prediction help? Understanding Auxiliary Tasks in Reinforcement Learning
Claas Voelcker, Tyler Kastner, Igor Gilitschenski +1
We investigate the impact of auxiliary learning tasks such as observation reconstruction and latent self-prediction on the representation learning problem in reinforcement learning…
Dissecting Deep RL with High Update Ratios: Combatting Value Divergence
Marcel Hussing, Claas Voelcker, Igor Gilitschenski +2
We show that deep reinforcement learning algorithms can retain their ability to learn without resetting network parameters in settings where the number of gradient updates greatly…
