Abstract

With the vigorous development of computer-related technology, the “perception + decision” paradigm of the combination of deep learning and reinforcement learning has become a research hotspot. Nowadays, deep reinforcement learning algorithms have been successfully applied to the fields of games, industry and commerce. However, deep reinforcement learning algorithms often fall into the dilemma of “exploration” and “exploitation”, and the effect of these algorithms is easily affected by the quality of hyperparameters. In order to make up for the defects mentioned above, this paper introduces the particle swarm based reinforcement learning framework (PRL). Compared with the standard reinforcement learning algorithms, this framework greatly improves the exploration ability and obtains better scores in a series of gym experimental tests.
