Student/teacher Advising Through Reward Augmentation

Abstract

Transfer learning is an important new subfield of multiagent reinforcement learning that aims to help an agent learn about a problem by using knowledge that it has gained solving another problem, or by using knowledge that is communicated to it by an agent who already knows the problem. This is useful when one wishes to change the architecture or learning algorithm of an agent (so that the new knowledge need not be built "from scratch"), when new agents are frequently introduced to the environment with no knowledge, or when an agent must adapt to similar but different problems. Great progress has been made in the agent-to-agent case using the Teacher/Student framework proposed by (Torrey and Taylor 2013). However, that approach requires that learning from a teacher be treated differently from learning in every other reinforcement learning context. In this paper, I propose a method which allows the teacher/student framework to be applied in a way that fits directly and naturally into th
