Abstract

Reinforcement learning is one of the main adaptive mechanisms that is both well documented in animal behaviour and giving rise to computational studies in animats and robots. In this paper, we present TeXDYNA, an algorithm designed to solve large reinforcement learning problems with unknown structure by integrating hierarchical abstraction techniques of Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning and factorization techniques of Factored Reinforcement Learning. We validate our approach on the LIGHT BOX problem.
