Endpoint Replay: Compressing the Recency Buffer in Deep Reinforcement Learning
Parham Mohammad Panahi, Armin Ashrafi, Haoyu Du +3
Experience replay remains one of the most practical and useful algorithmic tools in the deep reinforcement learning (DRL) toolbox. Aside from the limited success of prioritized rep…
Forager: a lightweight testbed for continual learning with partial observability in RL
Steven Tang, Xinze Xiong, Anna Hakhverdyan +7
In continual reinforcement learning (CRL), good performance requires never-ending learning, acting, and exploration in a big, partially observable world. Most CRL experiments have…
Investigating the Interplay of Prioritized Replay and Generalization
Parham Mohammad Panahi, Andrew Patterson, Martha White +1
Experience replay, the reuse of past data to improve sample efficiency, is ubiquitous in reinforcement learning. Though a variety of smart sampling schemes have been introduced to…
A New View on Planning in Online Reinforcement Learning
Kevin Roice, Parham Mohammad Panahi, Scott M. Jordan +2
This paper investigates a new approach to model-based reinforcement learning using background planning: mixing (approximate) dynamic programming updates and model-free updates, sim…
Position: Lifetime tuning is incompatible with continual reinforcement learning
Golnaz Mesbahi, Parham Mohammad Panahi, Olya Mastikhina +3
In continual RL we want agents capable of never-ending learning, and yet our evaluation methodologies do not reflect this. The standard practice in RL is to assume unfettered acces…
