Abstract

Modular Reinforcement Learning decomposes a monolithic task into several tasks with sub-goals and learns each one in parallel to solve the original problem. Such learning patterns can be traced in the brains of animals. Recent evidence in neuroscience shows that animals utilize separate systems for processing rewards and punishments, illuminating a different perspective for modularizing Reinforcem…
