An Analysis of Deep Reinforcement Learning Agents for Text-based Games (2209.04105v2)

Abstract: Text-based games(TBG) are complex environments which allow users or computer agents to make textual interactions and achieve game goals.In TBG agent design and training process, balancing the efficiency and performance of the agent models is a major challenge. Finding TBG agent deep learning modules' performance in standardized environments, and testing their performance among different evaluation types is also important for TBG agent research. We constructed a standardized TBG agent with no hand-crafted rules, formally categorized TBG evaluation types, and analyzed selected methods in our environment.
