Deep Policy Gradient Algorithms: A Closer Look

Опубликовано 16 мая 2019, 22:57

Deep reinforcement learning methods are behind some of the most publicized recent results in machine learning. In spite of these successes, however, deep RL methods face a number of systemic issues: brittleness to small changes in hyperparameters, high reward variance across runs, and sensitivity to seemingly small algorithmic changes.

In this talk, we take a closer look at the potential root of these issues. Specifically, we study how the policy gradient primitives underlying popular deep RL algorithms reflect the principles informing their development.
