Some Insights into Lifelong Reinforcement Learning Systems [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 A lifelong reinforcement learning system is a learning system that has the ability to learn through trail-and-error interaction with the environment over its lifetime. In this paper, I give some arguments to show that the traditional reinforcement learning paradigm fails to model this type of learning system.
