Abstract:Reinforcement Learning (RL) can solve practical sequential decision problems, even when structures of the problems are less understood. However, some sequential decision problems intrinsically have structural parts that are easily to formulate and distinguish from less understood parts. Exploiting this knowledge may help improve performance of RL. This study proposed and investigated an approach to exploit the knowledge of structural parts of inventory management problems in the context of RL. The proposed met… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
