Batch reinforcement learning with state importance

Full Text: Li04Batch.pdf PDF

We investigate the problem of using function approximation in reinforcementlearning where the agent\'s policy is represented as a classifier mappingstates to actions. High classification accuracy is usually deemed to correlate withhigh policy quality. But this is not necessarily the case as increasing classificationaccuracy can actually decrease the policy\'s quality. This phenomenon takes placewhen the learning process begins to focus on classifying less \
