Learning to Play Pong Video Game via Deep Reinforcement Learning: Tweaking Deep Q-Networks versus Episodic Control
P. 236–241.
We consider deep reinforcement learning algorithms for playing a game based on video input. We compare choosing proper hyper-parameters in deep Q-network model and model-free episodic control focused on reusing of successful strategies. The evaluation was made based on Pong video game implemented in Unreal Engine 4.

We present RLABC (Reinforcement Learning for Accelerator Beamline Control), an open-source Python framework that automatically transforms standard Elegant beamline configurations into reinforcement learning environments. RLABC integrates with the widely-used Elegant beam dynamics simulation code via SDDS-based interfaces, enabling researchers to apply modern RL algorithms to beamline optimization with minimal RL-specific development. Validation on a test ...

This article reviews both historical achievements and modern results in the field of Markov Decision Process (MDP) and convex optimization. This review is the first attempt to cover the field of reinforcement learning in Russian in the context of convex optimization. The fundamental Bellman equation and the criteria of optimality of policy — strategies based on it, ...

Reinforcement learning competitions advance the field by providing appropriate scope and support to develop solutions toward a specific problem. To promote the development of more broadly applicable methods, organizers need to enforce the use of general techniques, the use of sample-efficient methods, and the reproducibility of the results. While beneficial for the research community, these ...

The Flatland competition aimed at finding novel approaches to solve the vehicle re-scheduling problem (VRSP). The VRSP is concerned with scheduling trips in traffic networks and the re-scheduling of vehicles when disruptions occur, for example the breakdown of a vehicle. While solving the VRSP in various settings has been an active area in operations research ...

In this work, we study the problem of learning reinforcement learning-based agents in a first-person shooter environment VizDoom. We compare several well-known architectures, such as DQN, DDQN, A3C, and Curiosity-driven model, while highlighting the main differences in learned policies of agents trained via these models. ...

Recent reinforcement learning studies extensively explore the interplay between cooperative and competitive behaviour in mixed environments. Unlike cooperative environments where agents strive towards a common goal, mixed environments are notorious for the conflicts of selfish and social interests. As a consequence, purely rational agents often struggle to maintain cooperation. A prevalent approach to induce cooperative ...

Self-driving cars and advanced safety features present one of today’s greatest challenges and opportunities for Artificial Intelligence (AI). Despite billions of dollars of investments and encouraging progress under certain operational constraints, there are no driverless cars on public roads today without human safety drivers. Autonomous Driving research spans a wide spectrum, from modular architectures -- ...

Over recent years, deep reinforcement learning has shown strong successes in complex single-Agent tasks, and more recently this approach has also been applied to multi-Agent domains. In this paper, we propose a novel approach, called MAGNet, to multi-Agent reinforcement learning that utilizes a relevance graph representation of the environment obtained by a self-Attention mechanism, and ...

A large number of methods are being developed in the deep reinforcement learning area recently, but the scope of their application is limited. The number of environments does not always allow for a comprehensive assessment of a new agent training algorithm. The main purpose of this article is to present another environment for Match-3 game ...

In this work, we study deep reinforcement algorithms for partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDP) combined with Deep Q-Networks. To our knowledge, we are the first to apply standard Markov decision process architectures to POMDP scenarios. We propose an extension of DQN with Dueling Networks and several other model-free policies to training agent using deep ...

In this work, we study the effect of combining existent improvements for Deep Q-Networks (DQN) in Markov Decision Processes (MDP) and Partially Observable MDP (POMDP) settings. Combinations of several heuristics, such as Distributional Learning and Dueling architectures improvements, for MDP are well-studied. We propose a new combination method of simple DQN extensions and develop a ...
