Tutorial and Survey on Probabilistic Graphical Model and Variational Inference in Deep Reinforcement Learning

Understand

Aiming at a comprehensive and concise tutorial survey, recap of variational inference and reinforcement learning with Probabilistic Graphical Models are given with detailed derivations.

• Reviews and comparisons on recent advances in deep reinforcement learning are made from various aspects.
• We offer detailed derivations to a taxonomy of Probabilistic Graphical Model and Variational Inference methods in deep reinforcement learning, which serves as a complementary material on top of the original contributions.
