Investigating Action Encodings in Recurrent Neural Networks in Reinforcement Learning
Matthew Schlegel, Volodymyr Tkachuk, Adam White +1
Building and maintaining state to learn policies and value functions is critical for deploying reinforcement learning (RL) agents in the real world. Recurrent neural networks (RNNs…
Measuring and Mitigating Interference in Reinforcement Learning
Vincent Liu, Han Wang, Ruo Yu Tao +3
Catastrophic interference is common in many network-based learning systems, and many proposals exist for mitigating it. Before overcoming interference we must understand it better.…
Coagent Networks: Generalized and Scaled
James E. Kostas, Scott M. Jordan, Yash Chandak +5
Coagent networks for reinforcement learning (RL) [Thomas and Barto, 2011] provide a powerful and flexible framework for deriving principled learning rules for arbitrary stochastic…
Empirical Design in Reinforcement Learning
Andrew Patterson, Samuel Neumann, Martha White +1
Empirical design in reinforcement learning is no small task. Running good experiments requires attention to detail and at times significant computational resources. While compute r…
No More Pesky Hyperparameters: Offline Hyperparameter Tuning for RL
Han Wang, Archit Sakhadeo, Adam White +7
The performance of reinforcement learning (RL) agents is sensitive to the choice of hyperparameters. In real-world settings like robotics or industrial control systems, however, te…
Resonance in Weight Space: Covariate Shift Can Drive Divergence of SGD with Momentum
Kirby Banman, Liam Peet-Pare, Nidhi Hegde +2
Most convergence guarantees for stochastic gradient descent with momentum (SGDm) rely on iid sampling. Yet, SGDm is often used outside this regime, in settings with temporally corr…
