2018 Model-based deep reinforcement learning (PDF flyer)
Date: Mon, FEB 12, 2018 (15:00-18:00)
Venue: #205 (E16-1 YBS Bldg.)
Reinforcement learning + deep learning + Bayesian game theory. This half-day workshop aims to review recent studies about model-based deep reinforcement learning (RL). Model-based RL refers to a class of reinforcement learning algorithms that learn the model of the environment. For example, model-based RL agents are expected to rapidly adapt to the change of the environment structure. It addresses the Bayesian game problem. Imagine you play a Tic Tac Toe, Chess, or GO with the model-based RL agent. It can dominate the game by taking advantage of your game strategy. However, the conventional model-free RL agent (e.g., DQN, SARSA, TD, and etc.) can be fooled by sudden changes of a goal or deliberate changes in your game strategy. This approach offers enormous potential for solving general problems.
