Prioritized Experience Replay

TLDR
Prioritized experience replay as mentioned in this paper is a framework for prioritizing experience, so as to replay important transitions more frequently, and therefore learn more efficiently, achieving human-level performance across many Atari games.
Abstract
Experience replay lets online reinforcement learning agents remember and reuse experiences from the past. In prior work, experience transitions were uniformly sampled from a replay memory. However, this approach simply replays transitions at the same frequency that they were originally experienced, regardless of their significance. In this paper we develop a framework for prioritizing experience, so as to replay important transitions more frequently, and therefore learn more efficiently. We use prioritized experience replay in Deep Q-Networks (DQN), a reinforcement learning algorithm that achieved human-level performance across many Atari games. DQN with prioritized experience replay achieves a new state-of-the-art, outperforming DQN with uniform replay on 41 out of 49 games.

Blackbox Attacks on Reinforcement Learning Agents Using Approximated Temporal Information

TL;DR: Adversarial samples can be generalised from White-box and Grey-box attacks to a strong Black-box case, where the attacker has no knowledge of the agents, their training parameters or their training methods, and are used to trigger a trained agent to misbehave after a specific time delay.
