Count-Based Exploration in Feature Space for Reinforcement Learning

Proceedings of the Twenty-Sixth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI)

We introduce a new count-based optimistic exploration algorithm for Reinforcement Learning (RL) that is feasible in environments with high-dimensional state-action spaces. The success of RL algorithms in these domains depends crucially on generalisation from limited training experience. Function…

Death and Suicide in Universal Artificial Intelligence

Proceedings of the Ninth International Conference on Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)

Reinforcement learning (RL) is a general paradigm for studying intelligent behaviour, with applications ranging from artificial intelligence to psychology and economics. AIXI is a universal solution to the RL problem; it can learn any computable environment. A technical subtlety of AIXI is that it…
