On Convergence Rate of Adaptive Multiscale Value Function Approximation For Reinforcement Learning (1908.08578v1)
Published 22 Aug 2019 in cs.LG and stat.ML
Abstract: In this paper, we propose a generic framework for devising an adaptive approximation scheme for value function approximation in reinforcement learning, which introduces multiscale approximation. The two basic ingredients are multiresolution analysis as well as tree approximation. Starting from simple refinable functions, multiresolution analysis enables us to construct a wavelet system from which the basis functions are selected adaptively, resulting in a tree structure. Furthermore, we present the convergence rate of our multiscale approximation which does not depend on the regularity of basis functions.
