• Abstract: This paper aims to explore the potential of combining Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) with Knowledge Distillation (KD) by distilling various DRL algorithms and studying their distillation effects. By doing so, the computational burden of deep models could be reduced while maintaining the performance. The primary objective is to provide a benchmark for evaluating the performance of different DRL algorithms that have been refined using KD techniques. By distilling these algorithms, the goal is to develop efficient and fast DRL models. This research is expected to provide valuable insights that can facilitate further advancements in this promising direction. By exploring the combination of DRL and KD, this work aims to promote the development of models that require fewer GPU resources, learn more quickly, and make faster decisions in complex environments. The results of this research have the capacity to significantly advance the field of DRL and pave the way for the future deployment of resource-efficient, decision-making intelligent systems.
