Knowledge transfer between heterogeneous reinforcement learning agent

Journal Title: Science Paper Online - Year 2010, Vol 5, Issue 2

Abstract

Aiming at the problem of the existing knowledge transfer methods are only suitable for homogenous reinforcement learning agents, a kind of Q learning algorithm that can transfer knowledge between heterogeneous Agents with different state and action spaces. The main idea of the proposed Q learning algorithm can be described as the follows. Based on a task that was already learned by an old and a new Agent, a neural network was used to off-line learn a mapping relationship of Q value function between the two Agents. The constructed mapping of Q value function was then used to obtain Q value of the new Agent in a new task that was already learned by the old Agent while was not learned by the new Agent. The proposed Q learning algorithm can decrease the number of trials of the new Agent and so as to improve learning speed. Simulation results of 10×10 mazes illustrate the validity of the proposed Q learning algorithm.
