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.

Improved deep reinforcement learning for robotics through distribution-based experience retention

TL;DR: An experience replay method is proposed that ensures that the distribution of the experiences used for training is between that of the policy and a uniform distribution, which reduces the need for sustained exhaustive exploration during learning and is attractive in scenarios where sustained exploration is in-feasible or undesirable.

Reinforcement Learning with General Value Function Approximation: Provably Efficient Approach via Bounded Eluder Dimension

TL;DR: In this paper, the regret bound for RL with general value function approximation was shown to be O(widetilde{O}(mathrm{poly}(dH) \sqrt{T}) where H is the planning horizon, and T is the number interactions with the environment.
