Reinforcement learning with human advice. A survey

In this paper, we provide an overview of the existing methods for integrating human advice into a Reinforcement Learning process. We propose a taxonomy of different types of teaching signals, and present them according to three main aspects: how they can be provided to the learning agent, how they can be integrated into the learning process, and how they can be interpreted by the agent if their meaning is not determined beforehand. Finally, we compare the benefits and limitations of using each type of teaching signals, and propose a unified view of interactive learning methods.
