DQN Agent
Deep Q-Networks (DQNs) are a core deep reinforcement learning algorithm aiming to learn optimal action-selection policies by approximating the Q-function, which estimates the expected future reward for each action in a given state. Current research focuses on improving DQN's efficiency and robustness, including exploring novel architectures like incorporating transformers and addressing challenges such as catastrophic interference, sparse rewards, and limited data. These advancements are significant for various applications, from autonomous systems and robotics to optimizing resource allocation in complex environments like traffic control and renewable energy integration, by enabling more efficient and reliable learning in challenging real-world scenarios.
