OpenAI enhances reinforcement learning with adaptive parameter noise

OpenAI has published research detailing a new method for improving reinforcement learning algorithms by adding adaptive noise directly to the neural network's parameters, rather than its actions. This 'parameter noise' technique has demonstrated the ability to teach agents tasks more rapidly and consistently, often doubling performance compared to traditional action noise methods. The researchers also developed solutions for challenges like varying layer sensitivity and determining optimal noise scales, releasing baseline code for several popular reinforcement learning algorithms.

    Better exploration with parameter noise

    We’ve found that adding adaptive noise to the parameters of reinforcement learning algorithms frequently boosts performance. This exploration method is simple to implement and very rarely decreases performance, so it’s worth trying on any problem.
