Knowledge transfer using local features

Conference Paper, Proceedings of IEEE Symposium on Approximate Dynamic Programming and Reinforcement Learning (ADPRL '07), pp. 26 - 31, April, 2007

Abstract

We present a method for reducing the effort required to compute policies for tasks based on solutions to previously solved tasks. The key idea is to use a learned intermediate policy based on local features to create an initial policy for the new task. In order to further improve this initial policy, we developed a form of generalized policy iteration. We achieve a substantial reduction in computation needed to find policies when previous experience is available.
