Off-policy, value-based reinforcement learning methods such as Q-learning are appealing because they can learn from arbitrary experience, including data collected by older policies or other agents. In practice, however, bootstrapping makes…

Q-learning is a popular Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithm which is widely used in practice with function approximation (Mnih et al., 2015). In contrast, existing theoretical results are pessimistic about Q-learning. For example, (Baird,…

Distribution network reconfiguration (DNR) has proved to be an economical and effective way to improve the reliability of distribution systems. As optimal network configuration depends on system operating states (e.g., loads at each node),…
