| Abstract(in English) | In Reinforcement Learning, the agent learns by trial and error from a state without knowledge. Therefore, reinforcement learning has drawbacks that learning is slow. It is a serious problem how learns at high speed. In order to learn at high speed, some methods have been proposed. In the methods, the value function is divided. Then each divided value function is assigned to each processor, and updated in parallel. However, the method needs to exchange experiences frequently between the divided value function because of the character of reinforcement learning. It was a problem in the previous research that the overhead of communication between processors is large. In this paper, we propose the small overhead method that the parallel agents evaluate the shared value function asynchronously. As a result of the evaluation using shared memory type parallel machine, IBM pSeries 690, our method is approximately 22.2 times faster than sequential one in maze problem. |
