A Meta-MDP Approach to Exploration for Lifelong Reinforcement Learning

1 code implementation NeurIPS 2019 Francisco M. Garcia, Philip S. Thomas

In this paper we consider the problem of how a reinforcement learning agent that is tasked with solving a sequence of reinforcement learning problems (a sequence of Markov decision processes) can use knowledge acquired early in its lifetime to improve its ability to solve new problems.

A Compression-Inspired Framework for Macro Discovery

no code implementations24 Nov 2017 Francisco M. Garcia, Bruno C. da Silva, Philip S. Thomas

In this paper we consider the problem of how a reinforcement learning agent tasked with solving a set of related Markov decision processes can use knowledge acquired early in its lifetime to improve its ability to more rapidly solve novel, but related, tasks.
