Model-FreeActiveExploration inReinforcementLearning

Neural Information Processing Systems

We study the problem of exploration in Reinforcement Learning and present a novel model-free solution. We adopt an information-theoretical viewpoint and start from the instance-specific lower bound ofthe number ofsamples that have to be collected to identify a nearly-optimal policy.

ExplorationbyLearningDiverseSkillsthrough SuccessorStateRepresentations

Neural Information Processing Systems

The ability to perform different skills can encourage agents to explore. In this work, we aim to construct a set of diverse skills that uniformly cover the state space.



Provably Safe Reinforcement Learning with Step-wise Violation Constraints

Neural Information Processing Systems

We name this problem Safe-RL-SW . Our step-wise violation constraint differs from prior expected violation constraint (Wachi & Sui, 2020; Efroni et al., 2020b; Kalagarla et al., 2021) in two aspects: (i) Minimizing the step-wise violation enables the agent to learn an optimal policy that avoids unsafe regions deterministically,
