• Abstract: Deep Reinforcement Learning has shown excellent performance in generating efficient solutions for complex tasks. However, its efficacy is often limited by static training modes and heavy reliance on vast data from stable environments. To address these shortcomings, this study explores integrating dynamic weight adjustments into Deep Q-Networks (DQN) to enhance their adaptability. We implement these adjustments by modifying the sampling probabilities in the experience replay to make the model focus more on pivotal transitions as indicated by real-time environmental feedback and performance metrics. We design a novel Interactive Dynamic Evaluation Method (IDEM) for DQN that successfully navigates dynamic environments by prioritizing significant transitions based on environmental feedback and learning progress. Additionally, when faced with rapid changes in environmental conditions, IDEM-DQN shows improved performance compared to baseline methods. Our results indicate that under circumstances requiring rapid adaptation, IDEM-DQN can more effectively generalize and stabilize learning. Extensive experiments across various settings confirm that IDEM-DQN outperforms standard DQN models, particularly in environments characterized by frequent and unpredictable changes.

  A continual learning agent builds on previous experiences to develop increasingly complex behaviors. However, scaling these systems presents significant challenges, particularly in balancing the preservation of previous policies with the adaptation of new ones to current environments. This balance, known as the stability-plasticity dilemma, is especially pronounced in complex multi-agent domains such as the train scheduling problem.

  Quality-Diversity (QD) optimization has been shown to be effective tools in dealing with deceptive minima and sparse rewards in Reinforcement Learning. We show that, given examples from a task distribution, information about the paths taken by optimization in parameter space can be leveraged to build a prior population, which when used to initialize QD methods in unseen environments, allows for few-shot adaptation. Experiments carried in both sparse and dense reward settings using robotic manipulation and navigation benchmarks show that it considerably reduces the number of generations that are required for QD optimization in these environments.
