Policy Gradient Methods: Tutorial and New Frontiers
Episode details
Episode description
In this tutorial we discuss several recent advances in deep reinforcement learning involving policy gradient methods. These methods have shown significant success in a wide range of domains, including continuous-action domains such as manipulation, locomotion, and flight. They have also achieved the state of the art in discrete action domains such as Atari. We will provide a unifying overview of a variety of different policy gradient methods, and we will also discuss the formalism of stochastic computation graphs for computing gradients of expectations.
