Finding Hierarchies To Improve Learning In Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning, Roy Mobley

Theses and Dissertations--Computer Science

Reinforcement Learning (RL) is an approach to allowing computer agents to try and learn how to solve problems by learning what actions are best to take in a given situation. RL is effective for learning what to do in an environment, but as the problem grows larger, the amount of information needed grows exponentially, making RL less effective on complex problems. A big challenge, often called the curse of dimensionality, is that the number of states and possible number of actions in an environment can grow too large to sufficiently test every possible combination of state and action. One method …
