Reinforcement learning (RL) is one of the three basic paradigms of machine learning. It has demonstrated impressive performance in many complex tasks like Go and StarCraft, which is increasingly involved in smart manufacturing and autonomous driving. However, RL consistently suffers from the explorationexploitation…

Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a branch of Artificial Intelligence (AI) which focuses on training agents to make decisions by interacting with their environment to maximize cumulative rewards. An overview of RL is provided in this paper, which discusses its core concepts, methodologies, recent trends, and resources for…

Recent investigation on reinforcement learning (RL) has demonstrated considerable flexibility in dealing with various problems. However, such models often experience difficulty learning seemingly easy tasks for humans. To reconcile the discrepancy, our paper is focused on the computational benefits of the brain's RL.…

The aim of this paper is twofold. First, it seeks to uncover the algorithms that humans and other animals employ for learning in decision-making strategies within non-zero-sum games, specifically focusing on fully observable iterated prisoner’s dilemma scenarios. Second, it aims to develop a new model to explain…

An influential theory posits that dopaminergic neurons in the mid-brain implement a model-free reinforcement learning algorithm based on temporal difference (TD) learning. A fundamental assumption of this model is that the reward function being optimized is fixed. However, for biological creatures the ‘reward function’…

'Luis Hernández-Callejo'] Modern active distribution networks (ADNs) witness increasing complexities that require efforts in control practices, including optimal reactive power dispatch (ORPD). Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) is proposed to manage the network’s reactive power by coordinating different resources…

'Gianni D’Angelo' 'Arcangelo Castiglione'] Reinforcement learning (RL) trains an agent by maximizing the sum of a discounted reward. Since the discount factor has a critical effect on the learning performance of the RL agent, it is important to choose the discount factor properly. When uncertainties are involved in the…

Deep Reinforcement Learning is a branch of artificial intelligence that uses artificial neural networks to model reward-based learning as it occurs in biological agents. Here we modify a Deep Reinforcement Learning approach by imposing a suppressive effect on the connections between neurons in the artificial network -…

In this paper, we propose a multiphase semistatic training method for swarm confrontation using multi-agent deep reinforcement learning. In particular, we build a swarm confrontation game, the 3V3 tank fight, based on the Unity platform and train the agents by a MDRL algorithm called MA-POCA, coming with the ML-Agent…

Combining quantum computing techniques in the form of amplitude amplification with classical reinforcement learning has led to the so-called "hybrid agent for quantum-accessible reinforcement learning", which achieves a quadratic speedup in sample complexity for certain learning problems. So far, this hybrid agent has…

'Mark Alber'] The field of optimal experimental design uses mathematical techniques to determine experiments that are maximally informative from a given experimental setup. Here we apply a technique from artificial intelligence-reinforcement learning-to the optimal experimental design task of maximizing confidence in…

The reinforcement learning (RL) research area is very active, with an important number of new contributions; especially considering the emergent field of deep RL (DRL). However a number of scientific and technical challenges still need to be resolved, amongst which we can mention the ability to abstract actions or the…

Machine olfaction—the artificial replication of the sense of smell—faces significant challenges due to the absence of large, standardized training datasets. Unlike vision, language, and audio models, which benefit from extensive corpora such as ImageNet, GLUE, and AudioSet, olfaction lacks scaled equivalents and…

Reinforcement Learning is a mature technology, often suggested as a potential route towards Artificial General Intelligence, with the ambitious goal of replicating the wide range of abilities found in natural and artificial intelligence, including the complexities of human cognition. While RL had shown successes in…

A key feature of animal and human decision-making is to balance the exploration of unknown options for information gain (directed exploration) versus selecting known options for immediate reward (exploitation), which is often examined using restless bandit tasks. Recurrent neural network models (RNNs) have recently…

Reinforcement learning has a rich history in neuroscience, from early work on dopamine as a reward prediction error signal for temporal difference learning (Schultz et al., 1997) to recent work suggesting that dopamine could implement a form of 'distributional reinforcement learning' popularized in deep learning…

Working memory (WM) and reinforcement learning (RL) both influence decision-making, but how they interact to affect behaviour remains unclear. We assessed whether RL is influenced by the format of visual stimuli in WM, either feature-based or unified, object-based representations. In a pre-registered paradigm…

Crystal Structure Prediction (CSP) is a fundamental computational problem in materials science. Basin-hopping is a prominent CSP method that combines global Monte Carlo sampling to search over candidate trial structures with local energy minimisation of these candidates. The sampling uses a stochastic policy to…

Realizing the promise of artificial intelligence (AI) to accelerate scientific progress and deliver technological impact depends on how effectively AI can be integrated into real-world decision- making processes. As Peter Norvig states, “Somewhat remarkably, almost all AI research until very recently has assumed that…

Reinforcement learning (RL) is a powerful paradigm that has gained popularity across multiple domains. However, applying RL may come at a cost of multiple interactions between the agent and the environment. This cost can be especially pronounced when the single feedback from the environment is slow or computationally…
