Practicing Q-Learning

چکیده
Q-Learning has gained increasing attention as a promising real time learning scheme from delayed reinforcement. Being compact, model free and theoretically optimal it is commonly preferred to AHC-Learning and its derivatives. However, it has long been noticed that theoretical optimality has to be sacrificed in order to meet the constraints of most applications. In this article we report of experiments with modified Q-Learning algorithms together with their key ingredients for practical success in reinforcement learning. These include optimistic initialization, the principle of piecewise constancy of policy and the use of activity traces. Finally, we extend these algorithms for growing RBF networks with additional on-line learning vector quantization (adaptive perceptualization) and obtain very encouraging results as well. Our test bed is pole balancing with additional noise on the sensory input.

In higher music education (HME), the notion of "private teaching, private learning" has a long tradition, where the learning part rests on the student's individual practicing between instrumental lessons. However, recent research suggests that collaborative learning among peers is beneficial in several aspects, such as sense of belonging, motivation and self-efficacy. This is consistent with th...

This paper develops an adaptive control method for controlling frequency and voltage of an islanded mini/micro grid (M/µG) using reinforcement learning method. Reinforcement learning (RL) is one of the branches of the machine learning, which is the main solution method of Markov decision process (MDPs). Among the several solution methods of RL, the Q-learning method is used for solving RL in th...
