Title
A modular hierarchical reinforcement learning algorithm
Abstract
How to improve the learning efficiency and optimize the encapsulation of subtasks is a key problem that hierarchical reinforcement learning needs to solve. This paper proposes a modular hierarchical reinforcement learning al-gorithm, named MHRL, in which the modularized hierarchical subtasks are trained by their independent reward systems. During learning, the MHRL pro-duces an optimization strategy for different modular layers, which makes inde-pendent modules be able to concurrently execute. In addition, this paper pre-sents some experimental results for solving application problems with nested learning processes. The results show that the MHRL can increase learning reus-ability and improve learning efficiency dramatically.
