Two Memory Reinforcement
Two-memory reinforcement learning (2MRL) aims to improve the efficiency and performance of reinforcement learning agents by integrating distinct memory systems. Current research focuses on developing architectures that combine the rapid learning of episodic memory with the generalization capabilities of parametric methods like deep reinforcement learning, often employing adaptive memory management and intrinsic motivation to guide exploration. This approach shows promise in addressing challenges like sparse rewards and inefficient search in various applications, from combinatorial optimization to multimodal information retrieval, by enabling more efficient learning and better solution discovery. The resulting improvements in data efficiency and performance have significant implications for the scalability and applicability of reinforcement learning across diverse domains.
