Enhancing Scalability in Reinforcement Learning for Open Spaces

摘要

Reinforcement Learning (RL) has been successful when the environment has specific objectives and boundaries. But with the emerging focus on open-world application which makes all or some of the rules or purpose go to naught, it makes traditional methods of RL a bit more difficult. This paper goes over various advancements and changes in Reinforcement Learning which can be employed for open-ended environments. Among the other strategies, hierarchical reinforcement learning, intrinsic motivation-based exploration, meta-learning and unsupervised skill acquisition are also among the ones that are examined. As a result, such a position based on the technology argues the promising future of open-ended methods for the management of complex problems and high level of uncertainty associated with the preset target or purpose. Also, we study cases in video games, robotics and autonomous systems, where RL is implemented in an open-ended and dynamic environment. We also outline existing limitations and perspectives, highlighting the need for more flexible methods and inter-scientific collaboration to fully realize RL's potential in open-ended contexts.
