Local Search for Policy Iteration in Continuous Control
Jost Tobias Springenberg, Nicolas Heess, Daniel Mankowitz +10
We present an algorithm for local, regularized, policy improvement in reinforcement learning (RL) that allows us to formulate model-based and model-free variants in a single framew…
V-MPO: On-Policy Maximum a Posteriori Policy Optimization for Discrete and Continuous Control
H. Francis Song, Abbas Abdolmaleki, Jost Tobias Springenberg +11
Some of the most successful applications of deep reinforcement learning to challenging domains in discrete and continuous control have used policy gradient methods in the on-policy…
TF-Replicator: Distributed Machine Learning for Researchers
Peter Buchlovsky, David Budden, Dominik Grewe +9
We describe TF-Replicator, a framework for distributed machine learning designed for DeepMind researchers and implemented as an abstraction over TensorFlow. TF-Replicator simplifie…
Relative Entropy Regularized Policy Iteration
Abbas Abdolmaleki, Jost Tobias Springenberg, Jonas Degrave +5
We present an off-policy actor-critic algorithm for Reinforcement Learning (RL) that combines ideas from gradient-free optimization via stochastic search with learned action-value…
Parallel WaveNet: Fast High-Fidelity Speech Synthesis
Aaron van den Oord, Yazhe Li, Igor Babuschkin +19
The recently-developed WaveNet architecture is the current state of the art in realistic speech synthesis, consistently rated as more natural sounding for many different languages…
Parallel Multiscale Autoregressive Density Estimation
Scott Reed, Aäron van den Oord, Nal Kalchbrenner +4
PixelCNN achieves state-of-the-art results in density estimation for natural images. Although training is fast, inference is costly, requiring one network evaluation per pixel; O(N…
