From Pixels to Factors: Learning Independently Controllable State Variables for Reinforcement Learning
Rafael Rodriguez-Sanchez, Cameron Allen, George Konidaris
Algorithms that exploit factored Markov decision processes are far more sample-efficient than factor-agnostic methods, yet they assume a factored representation is known a priori -…
