LESSON: Learning to Integrate Exploration Strategies for Reinforcement Learning via an Option Framework

Published 5 Oct 2023 in cs.LG | (2310.03342v2)

Abstract: In this paper, a unified framework for exploration in reinforcement learning (RL) is proposed based on an option-critic model. The proposed framework learns to integrate a set of diverse exploration strategies so that the agent can adaptively select the most effective exploration strategy over time to realize a relevant exploration-exploitation trade-off for each given task. The effectiveness of the proposed exploration framework is demonstrated by various experiments in the MiniGrid and Atari environments.
