Implementing Online Reinforcement Learning with Temporal Neural Networks

Neural and Evolutionary Computing 2022-04-13 v1

Abstract

A Temporal Neural Network (TNN) architecture for implementing efficient online reinforcement learning is proposed and studied via simulation. The proposed T-learning system is composed of a frontend TNN that implements online unsupervised clustering and a backend TNN that implements online reinforcement learning. The reinforcement learning paradigm employs biologically plausible neo-Hebbian three-factor learning rules. As a working example, a prototype implementation of the cart-pole problem (balancing an inverted pendulum) is studied via simulation.
