Adjustment of exploratory behavior using mutual information in reinforcement learning
Kaiji Koyama, Jun Ohkubo (Saitama Univ.) NC2018-51
Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) One of the important problems in reinforcement learning is the
exploration-exploitation trade-off. In this research, we propose a
method to use mutual information as a exploration bonus in experimental
settings with sudden environmental change; for example, we consider a
maze problem in which walls will suddenly appear or disappear. As for
the environmental changes, there are some previous researches such as
the usage of entropy as exploration bonus and a meta-parameter control
method in Boltzmann selection rule. Here, the proposed method using the
mutual information is implemented in the Q learning, including the
meta-parameter control method, and numerical experiments are performed.
The numerical results show that the mutual information can work well as
the exploration bonus.
