"Reinforcement learning is learning what to do – how to map situations to actions – so as to maximize a numerical reward signal. The learner is not told which actions to take, as in most forms of machine learning, but instead must discover which actions yield the most reward by trying them." – Sutton, Richard S. and Andrew G. Barto. Reinforcement Learning: An Introduction. (1.1). MIT Press, Cambridge, MA, 1998.
While therewardcompensation mechanism isunknown,the learner can adapt his (her) decision to the past reward feedback so as to maximize the sum of rewards.
In fact, the interaction of these two aspects requires addressing the fact that each agent's own safety constraint requires information from all others.
