An Improved Domain-Knowledge-based Reinforcement Learning Algorithm

If an agent has a learning ability using previous knowledge, then it is expected that the agent can speed up learning by interacting with environment. In this paper, we present an improved reinforcement learning algorithm using domain knowledge which can be represented by problem-independent features and their classifiers. Here, neural networks are employed as knowledge classifiers. To show the validity of our proposed algorithm, computer simulations are illustrated, where navigation problem of a mobile robot and a micro aerial vehicle(MAV) are considered.
