Strengths, Weaknesses, and Combinations of Model-based and Model-free Reinforcement Learning
DownloadSpring 2016
Reinforcement learning algorithms are conventionally divided into two approaches: a model-based approach that builds a model of the environment and then computes a value function from the model, and a model-free approach that directly estimates the value function. The first contribution of this...

This thesis is offered as a step forward in our understanding of forgetting in artificial neural networks. ANNs are a learning system loosely based on our understanding of the brain and are responsible for recent breakthroughs in artificial intelligence. However, they have been reported to be...
