Learning on a Budget via Teacher Imitation

Understand

Deep Reinforcement Learning (RL) techniques can benefit greatly from leveraging prior experience, which can be either self-generated or acquired from other entities.

• Action advising is a framework that provides a flexible way to transfer such knowledge in the form of actions between teacher-student peers.
• However, due to the realistic concerns, the number of these interactions is limited with a budget; therefore, it is crucial to perform these in the most appropriate moments.
• There have been several promising studies recently that address this problem setting especially from the student's perspective.
