DeepMind Found New Approach To Create Faster RL Models

Recently, researchers from DeepMind and McGill University proposed new approaches to speed up the solution of complex reinforcement learning problems. They mainly introduced a divide and conquer approach to reinforcement learning (RL), which is combined with deep learning to scale up the potentials of the agents. For a few years now, reinforcement learning has been providing a conceptual framework in order to address several fundamental problems. This algorithm has been utilised in several applications, such as to model robots, simulate artificial limbs, developing self-driving cars, play games like poker, Go, and more. Also, the recent combination of reinforcement learning with deep learning added several impressive achievements and is found to be a promising approach to tackle important sequential decision-making problems that are currently intractable.
