Summary:
This paper proposes a novel reinforcement learning method for dynamic environments. A learning agent estimates changing environments by comparing rule sequence with each action selection probability. If the change is estimated, action selection probabilities are temporarily adjusted. We derive the condition for the amount of adjustment to be flexibly adaptive for dynamic environments. Our method provides better learning performances in various dynamic environments than conventional methods. We present some numerical results for our method applied to dynamic maze problems.
