Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for asynchronous deep reinforcement learning. One of the systems includes a plurality of workers, wherein each worker is configured to operate independently of each other worker, and wherein each worker is associated with a respective actor that interacts with a respective replica of the environment during the training of the deep neural network.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for reinforcement learning. The embodiments described herein apply meta-learning (and in particular, meta-gradient reinforcement learning) to learn an optimum return function G so that the training of the system is improved. This provides a more effective and efficient means of training a reinforcement learning system as the system is able to converge on an optimum set of one or more policy parameters θ more quickly by training the return function G as it goes. In particular, the return function G is made dependent on the one or more policy parameters θ and a meta-objective function J′ is used that is differentiated with respect to the one or more return parameters η to improve the training of the return function G.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for training a neural network used to select actions performed by a reinforcement learning agent interacting with an environment. In one aspect, a method includes maintaining a replay memory, where the replay memory stores pieces of experience data generated as a result of the reinforcement learning agent interacting with the environment. Each piece of experience data is associated with a respective expected learning progress measure that is a measure of an expected amount of progress made in the training of the neural network if the neural network is trained on the piece of experience data. The method further includes selecting a piece of experience data from the replay memory by prioritizing for selection pieces of experience data having relatively higher expected learning progress measures and training the neural network on the selected piece of experience data.

Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for training an action selection neural network. One of the methods includes receiving an observation characterizing a current state of the environment; determining a target network output for the observation by performing a look ahead search of possible future states of the environment starting from the current state until the environment reaches a possible future state that satisfies one or more termination criteria, wherein the look ahead search is guided by the neural network in accordance with current values of the network parameters; selecting an action to be performed by the agent in response to the observation using the target network output generated by performing the look ahead search; and storing, in an exploration history data store, the target network output in association with the observation for use in updating the current values of the network parameters.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for training a reinforcement learning system. The method includes: training an action selection policy neural network, and during the training of the action selection neural network, training one or more auxiliary control neural networks and a reward prediction neural network. Each of the auxiliary control neural networks is configured to receive a respective intermediate output generated by the action selection policy neural network and generate a policy output for a corresponding auxiliary control task. The reward prediction neural network is configured to receive one or more intermediate outputs generated by the action selection policy neural network and generate a corresponding predicted reward. Training each of the auxiliary control neural networks and the reward prediction neural network comprises adjusting values of the respective auxiliary control parameters, reward prediction parameters, and the action selection policy network parameters.
