Agnostic Reinforcement Learning

Agnostic reinforcement learning (RL) aims to develop RL agents that can effectively learn and adapt to new tasks or environments with minimal prior knowledge about the underlying dynamics or reward structure. Current research focuses on improving sample efficiency through techniques like causal exploration and incorporating diverse strategies via novel diversity measures and iterative learning algorithms. This approach is significant because it addresses the limitations of traditional RL methods that often require extensive task-specific data or hand-engineered features, paving the way for more robust and generalizable AI agents applicable to diverse real-world problems such as robotics and satellite control.
