Efficient Exploration Is Enough

Mikel Malagón, Jon Vadillo, Josu Ceberio +2

This work introduces an alternative view of efficient exploration and studies its theoretical and empirical implications in the absence of extrinsic rewards. Specifically, we defin…

Toward Agents That Reason About Their Computation

Adrian Orenstein, Jiajing Chen, Jessica Chen +4

While reinforcement learning agents can achieve superhuman performance in many complex tasks, they typically do not become more computationally efficient as they improve. In contra…

Generalization in Monitored Markov Decision Processes (Mon-MDPs)

Montaser Mohammedalamen, Michael Bowling

Reinforcement learning (RL) typically models the interaction between the agent and environment as a Markov decision process (MDP), where the rewards that guide the agent's behavior…

KETCHUP: K-Step Return Estimation for Sequential Knowledge Distillation

Jiabin Fan, Guoqing Luo, Michael Bowling +1

We propose a novel k-step return estimation method (called KETCHUP) for Reinforcement Learning(RL)-based knowledge distillation (KD) in text generation tasks. Our idea is to induce…

Model-Based Exploration in Monitored Markov Decision Processes

Alireza Kazemipour, Simone Parisi, Matthew E. Taylor +1

A tenet of reinforcement learning is that the agent always observes rewards. However, this is not true in many realistic settings, e.g., a human observer may not always be availabl…

Beyond Optimism: Exploration With Partially Observable Rewards

Simone Parisi, Alireza Kazemipour, Michael Bowling

Exploration in reinforcement learning (RL) remains an open challenge. RL algorithms rely on observing rewards to train the agent, and if informative rewards are sparse the agent le…

Monitored Markov Decision Processes

Simone Parisi, Montaser Mohammedalamen, Alireza Kazemipour +2

In reinforcement learning (RL), an agent learns to perform a task by interacting with an environment and receiving feedback (a numerical reward) for its actions. However, the assum…

Assessing the Interpretability of Programmatic Policies with Large Language Models

Zahra Bashir, Michael Bowling, Levi H. S. Lelis

Although the synthesis of programs encoding policies often carries the promise of interpretability, systematic evaluations were never performed to assess the interpretability of th…
