A Goal-Set Characterization of Task Composition in the Boolean Task Algebra
Researchers have introduced a new method for task composition in reinforcement learning, building upon the Boolean Task Algebra (BTA) framework. Their approach simplifies the process by performing logical operations directly on goal sets, reducing the need for numerous base tasks. This method has demonstrated reduced learning costs and faster composition times across various experimental domains without sacrificing policy performance. However, the study also notes that in stochastic environments, this simplification may not hold, potentially requiring the consideration of a much larger number of policies. AI
