This overview considers the entire spectrum of algorithmic aspects and proposes a novel methodology that analyses the technical resemblances and differences in ECRL.
Abstract
A variety of Reinforcement Learning (RL) techniques blends with one or more techniques from Evolutionary Computation (EC) resulting in hybrid methods classified according to their goal, new focus, and their component methodologies. We denote this class of hybrid algorithmic techniques as the evolutionary computation versus reinforcement learning (ECRL) paradigm. This overview considers the entire spectrum of algorithmic aspects and proposes a novel methodology that analyses the technical resemblances and differences in ECRL. Our design analyses the motivation for each ECRL paradigm, the underlying natural models, the sub-component algorithmic techniques, as well as the properties of their ensemble.

Evolution-Guided Policy Gradient in Reinforcement Learning

TL;DR: Evolutionary Reinforcement Learning (ERL), a hybrid algorithm that leverages the population of an EA to provide diversified data to train an RL agent, and reinserts the RL agent into theEA population periodically to inject gradient information into the EA.

Parameters identification of photovoltaic cell models using enhanced exploratory salp chains-based approach

TL;DR: This paper proposes an Opposition-based Learning Modified Salp Swarm Algorithm (OLMSSA) for accurate identification of the two-diode model parameters of the electrical equivalent circuit of the PV cell/module and demonstrates that OLMSSA is highly competitive and even significantly better than the reported results of the majority of recently-developed parameter identification methods.

Deep learning

TL;DR: Deep learning is making major advances in solving problems that have resisted the best attempts of the artificial intelligence community for many years, and will have many more successes in the near future because it requires very little engineering by hand and can easily take advantage of increases in the amount of available computation and data.
