Model Based Reinforcement Learning
Model-based reinforcement learning (MBRL) aims to improve the sample efficiency and robustness of reinforcement learning agents by learning a model of the environment's dynamics. Current research focuses on enhancing model accuracy and robustness through techniques like incorporating expert knowledge, using bisimulation metrics for state representation, and employing adversarial training to handle uncertainties. These advancements are leading to more efficient and reliable control policies in various applications, including robotics, autonomous driving, and even protein design, by reducing the need for extensive real-world interactions during training.
