Action Space Reinforcement Learning

Action space reinforcement learning (RL) focuses on designing and optimizing the set of actions available to an RL agent to improve learning efficiency and performance in various tasks. Current research emphasizes adapting action spaces to specific problem structures, such as incorporating parallel actions or dynamically selecting actions from expanding sets, often employing algorithms like Q-learning, TD3, and policy gradient methods. This approach is proving valuable in diverse applications, including robotics (e.g., drone control and inverted pendulum balancing), natural language processing (topic modeling), and finance (algorithmic trading), demonstrating the power of tailored action spaces for solving complex real-world problems.
