The Policy Gradient On The Average Reward Manifold
Takamitsu Matsubara (NAIST/ATR), Jun Morimoto (JST/ATR) NC2007-85
Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In this paper we propose a novel policy gradient type reinforcement learning method on the average rewardmanifold, in which a metric to measure the effect of change in policy parameters on the average reward is introduced. In our method, the derivative of the average reward with respect to the policy improvement can be fixed as a constant. Moreover,
around a (sub-) optimal policy, the policy gradient method is equivalent to the Newton method. Simple simulation results with comparison to previously proposed natural policy gradient methods demonstrate the effectiveness of our policy gradient method.
