Reinforcement learning : The exploration vs. exploitation trade-off has been most thoroughly studied through the multi-armed bandit problem and for finite state space Markov decision processes in Burnetas and Katehakis (1997). Reinforcement learning requires clever exploration mechanisms; randomly selecting actions, wi...
Reinforcement learning : Even if the issue of exploration is disregarded and even if the state was observable (assumed hereafter), the problem remains to use past experience to find out which actions lead to higher cumulative rewards.
Reinforcement learning : Both the asymptotic and finite-sample behaviors of most algorithms are well understood. Algorithms with provably good online performance (addressing the exploration issue) are known. Efficient exploration of Markov decision processes is given in Burnetas and Katehakis (1997). Finite-time perfor...

Policy gradient method : In policy-based RL, the actor is a parameterized policy function π θ , where θ are the parameters of the actor. The actor takes as argument the state of the environment s and produces a probability distribution π θ ( ⋅ ∣ s ) (\cdot \mid s) . If the action space is discrete, then ∑ a π θ ( a ...
Policy gradient method : REINFORCE is an on-policy algorithm, meaning that the trajectories used for the update must be sampled from the current policy π θ .
