On amount and quality of bias in reinforcement learning
IEEE SMC'99 Conference Proceedings. 1999 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics (Cat. No.99CH37028)
Reinforcement learning is widely regarded as elegant in theory but hopelessly slow in practice. This is because it is often studied under the assumption that there is little or no prior information about the task at hand. This assumption, however, is not the defining characteristic of learning. Learning involves the incorporation of prior knowledge or bias that can greatly accelerates or otherwise improves the learning process.
