Signal-to-Noise Ratio Analysis of Policy Gradient Algorithms
Policy gradient (PG) reinforcement learning algorithms have strong (local) convergence guarantees, but their learning performance is typically limited by a large variance in the estimate of the gradient. In this paper, we formulate the variance reduction problem by describing a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for policy gradient algorithms, and evaluate this SNR carefully for the popular Weight Per...
متن کاملMost energetic passive states.
Passive states are defined as those states that do not allow for work extraction in a cyclic (unitary) process. Within the set of passive states, thermal states are the most stable ones: they maximize the entropy for a given energy, and similarly they minimize the energy for a given entropy. Here we find the passive states lying in the other extreme, i.e., those that maximize the energy for a g...
متن کاملWhere are the states of a black hole ? 1
We argue that bound states of branes have a size that is of the same order as the horizon radius of the corresponding black hole. Thus the interior of a black hole is not ‘empty space with a central singularity’, and Hawking radiation can pick up information from the degrees of freedom of the hole. Talk given at ‘Quantum Theory and Symmetries’, Cincinnati, September 2003.
متن کاملBayesian Policy Gradient Algorithms
Policy gradient methods are reinforcement learning algorithms that adapt a parameterized policy by following a performance gradient estimate. Conventional policy gradient methods use Monte-Carlo techniques to estimate this gradient. Since Monte Carlo methods tend to have high variance, a large number of samples is required, resulting in slow convergence. In this paper, we propose a Bayesian fra...
متن کاملComparing Policy-Gradient Algorithms
We present a series of formal and empirical results comparing the efficiency of various policy-gradient methods—methods for reinforcement learning that directly update a parameterized policy according to an approximation of the gradient of performance with respect to the policy parameter. Such methods have recently become of interest as an alternative to value-function-based methods because of ...
