• Abstract: Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) is poised to revolutionise the field of artificial intelligence (AI) by endowing autonomous systems with high levels of understanding of the real world. Currently, deep learning (DL) is enabling DRL to effectively solve various intractable problems in various fields. Most importantly, DRL algorithms are also being employed in audio signal processing to learn directly from speech, music and other sound signals in order to create audio-based autonomous systems that have many promising application in the real world. In this article, we conduct a comprehensive survey on the progress of DRL in the audio domain by bringing together the research studies across different speech and music-related areas. We begin with an introduction to the general field of DL and reinforcement learning (RL), then progress to the main DRL methods and their applications in the audio domain. We conclude by presenting challenges faced by audio-based DRL agents and highlighting open areas for future research and investigation.

Results show that the general interest in DRL deployment is growing, confirming the study's relevance and importance.

  We cast the development of better RL algorithms as a machine learning problem itself in a process called meta-RL. We discuss how, at a high level, meta-RL research can be clustered based on the presence of a task distribution and the learning budget available for each individual task. We conclude by presenting the open problems on the path to making meta-RL part of the standard toolbox for a deep RL practitioner.

  Reinforcement learning can be used to build general-purpose robotic systems. However, training RL agents to solve robotics tasks still remains challenging. In this work, we manually specify a library of robot action primitives (RAPS), parameterized with arguments that are learned by an RL policy. We find that our simple change to the action interface substantially improves both the learning efficiency and task performance.
