Geometry of Policy Improvement [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We investigate the geometry of optimal memoryless time independent decision making in relation to the amount of information that the acting agent has about the state of the system. We show that the expected long term reward, discounted or per time step, is maximized by policies that randomize among at most $k$ actions whenever at most $k$ world states ...

Latent Structure Matching for Knowledge Transfer in Reinforcement Learning

open access: yesFuture Internet, 2020
Reinforcement learning algorithms usually require a large number of empirical samples and give rise to a slow convergence in practical applications. One solution is to introduce transfer learning: Knowledge from well-learned source tasks can be reused to

On- and Off-Policy Monotonic Policy Improvement

open access: yesCoRR, 2017
Monotonic policy improvement and off-policy learning are two main desirable properties for reinforcement learning algorithms. In this paper, by lower bounding the performance difference of two policies, we show that the monotonic policy improvement is guaranteed from on- and off-policy mixture samples.

Neural-to-Tree Policy Distillation with Policy Improvement Criterion

open access: yesCoRR, 2021
While deep reinforcement learning has achieved promising results in challenging decision-making tasks, the main bones of its success --- deep neural networks are mostly black-boxes. A feasible way to gain insight into a black-box model is to distill it into an interpretable model such as a decision tree, which consists of if-then rules and is easy to ...
