InferNet for Delayed Reinforcement Tasks: Addressing the Temporal Credit Assignment Problem

2021 IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON BIG DATA (BIG DATA), pp. 1337–1348.

By: M. Ausin  n, H. Azizsoltani n, S. Ju n, Y. Kim n & M. Chi n

author keywords: Credit Assignment Problem; Deep Reinforcement Learning
TL;DR: The results show that InferNet is robust to delayed or noisy reward functions, and it could be used effectively for solving the temporal CAP in a wide range of RL tasks, when immediate rewards are not available or they are noisy. (via Semantic Scholar)

Leveraging Granularity: Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning for Pedagogical Policy Induction

Zhou, G., Azizsoltani, H., Ausin, M. S., Barnes, T., & Chi, M. (2021, August 16). INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN EDUCATION, Vol. 8.

By: G. Zhou n, H. Azizsoltani n, M. Ausin  n, T. Barnes n & M. Chi n

author keywords: Hierarchical reinforcement learning; Decision granularity; Pedagogical policy
TL;DR: An offline, off-policy Gaussian Processes based Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning (HRL) framework is proposed and applied to induce a hierarchical pedagogical policy that makes adaptive, effective decisions at both the problem and step levels. (via Semantic Scholar)

Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning for Pedagogical Policy Induction

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN EDUCATION (AIED 2019), PT I, Vol. 11625, pp. 544–556.

By: G. Zhou n, H. Azizsoltani n, M. Ausin  n, T. Barnes n & M. Chi n

author keywords: Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning; Pedagogical policies
TL;DR: This paper proposes and applies an offline, off-policy Gaussian Processes based Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning (HRL) framework to induce a hierarchical pedagogical policy that makes decisions at both problem and step levels and shows that the HRL policy is significantly more effective than a Deep Q-Network induced policy and a random yet reasonable baseline policy.
