• Abstract: Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) aims to create intelligent agents that can learn to solve complex problems efficiently in a real-world environment. Typically, two learning goals: adaptation and generalization are used for baselining DRL algorithm's performance on different tasks and domains. This paper presents a survey on the recent developments in DRL-based approaches for adaptation and generalization. We begin by formulating these goals in the context of task and domain. Then we review the recent works under those approaches and discuss future research directions through which DRL algorithms' adaptability and generalizability can be enhanced and potentially make them applicable to a broad range of real-world problems.

  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.

  We present a meta algorithm that can use offline data, demonstrations, or a pre-existing policy to initialize an RL policy. In particular, we propose Jump-Start Reinforcement Learning (JSRL), an algorithm that employs two policies to solve tasks. We show via experiments that JSRL is able to significantly outperform existing imitation and reinforcement learning algorithms.

This work provides a principled way to improve generalization in RL by gradually removing information that is redundant for task-solving.
