Abstract;The object of this research is to realize a robust and flexible learning agent under a variant environment with intermittent changes of the learning conditions. Reinforcement learning is one of the possible behavior learning methods for an agent that behaves robustly in an unknown environment. Most previous reinforcement learning researches assume the limited conditions such as MDP environment to guarantee a rationality for learning, and tend to seek the convergence of the optimal learning result in infinite learning time. This paper presents Multi-Strategy Parallel Reinforcement Learning method(MSP-RL, in short) that performs the several different reinforcement learning algorithms in parallel. (author abst.)
