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.

Control of chaotic systems by Deep Reinforcement Learning

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that using restricted, localized actuations, partial knowledge of the state based on limited sensor measurements, and model-free DRL controllers, it is possible to stabilize the dynamics of the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky (KS) system around its unstable fixed solutions, here considered as target states.

Learning values across many orders of magnitude

TL;DR: The authors adaptively normalize the targets used in learning, which is useful in value-based reinforcement learning, where the magnitude of appropriate value approximations can change over time when we update the policy of behavior.
