PAC-inspired Option Discovery in Lifelong Reinforcement Learning

by Emma Brunskill, Lihong Li
"... A key goal of AI is to create lifelong learn-ing agents that can leverage prior experience to improve performance on later tasks. In reinforcement-learning problems, one way to summarize prior experience for future use is through options, which are temporally extended actions (subpolicies) for how t ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
prior empirical results on when and how options may accelerate learning. We then quantify the benefit of options in reducing sample complexity of a lifelong learning agent. Finally, the new the-oretical insights inspire a novel option-discovery algorithm that aims at minimizing overall sample complexity

Learning by Automatic Option Discovery from Conditionally Terminating Sequences

"... Abstract. This paper proposes a novel approach to discover options in the form of conditionally terminating sequences, and shows how they can be integrated into reinforcement learning framework to improve the learning performance. The method utilizes stored histories of possible optimal policies and ..."

Option Discovery in Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning for Training Large Factor Graphs for Information Extraction

by Sameer Singh, Andrew Mccallum, Andrew Barto , 2009
"... Since exact training and inference is not possible for most factor graphs, a number of tech-niques have been proposed to train models approximately, but they do not scale to large factor graphs used in recent work on joint inference on multiple information extraction tasks. Sam-pleRank is an MCMC ba ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
, MAP inference in factor graphs is reframed as hierarchical re-inforcement learning, and a novel method for discovering options fast is introduced. Sample trajectories are analyzed to detect dependencies between primitive actions. These dependencies are exploited to extract the commonly occurring

Improved automatic discovery of subgoals for options in hierarchical reinforcement learning

by R Matthew Kretchmar , Todd Feil , Rohit Bansal - Journal of Computer Science and Technology , 2003
"... Abstract Options have been shown to be a key step in extending reinforcement learning beyond low-level reactionary systems to higher-level, planning systems. Most of the options research involves hand-crafted options; there has been only very limited work in the automated discovery of options. We e ..."

Automated Discovery of Options in Reinforcement Learning

by Martin Stolle , 2004
"... AI planning benefits greatly from the use of temporally-extended or macro-actions. Macro-actions allow for faster and more efficient planning as well as the reuse of knowledge from previous solutions. In recent years, a significant amount of research has been devoted to incorporating macro-actio ..."

-actions in learned controllers, particularly in the context of Reinforcement Learning. One general approach is the use of options (temporally-extended actions) in Reinforcement Learning. While the properties of options are well understood, it is not clear how to find new options automatically. In this thesis we

Crash Discovery in Stock and Option Markets

by Gurdip Bakshi, Dilip Madan, Pierluigi Balduzzi, David Bates, Phelim Boyle, Stephen Brown, Charles Cao, Peter Carr, Pierre Collin-dufresne, Wayne Ferson, Steve Figlewski, Mike Gallmeyer, Rick Green, Burton Hollifield, Ming Huang, Haluk Unal, Jiang Wang, Toni Whited , 1999
"... This article investigates, both theoretically and empirically, the economics of stock market crashes. Using more than 100 years of daily data on the DJIA (and shorter series on NASDAQ, IBM, and Caterpillar), we first document empirically that (a) the probability of a daily stock market decline in ex ..."

implementation methods are sufficiently versatile to discover crash/rally information embedded in option markets. Exploiting more than 17,000 out-of-money option prices, the framework quantifies three dimensions of crash discovery (i) time-variations in Arrow-Debreu security price on the extre...

Informed trading in stock and option markets

by Sugato Chakravarty, Huseyin Gulen, Stewart Mayhew - Journal of Finance , 2004
"... We investigate the contribution of option markets to price discovery, using a modification of Hasbrouck’s (1995) “information share ” approach. Based on five years of stock and options data for 60 firms, we estimate the option market’s contribution to price discovery to be about 17 percent on averag ..."
