AAAI Student Abstract and Poster Program

Policy Shaping is a Human-in-the-loop Reinforcement Learning (HRL) algorithm. We extend this work to continuous states with our algorithm, Deep Policy Shaping (DPS). DPS uses a feedback neural network that learns the optimality of actions from noisy feedback combined with an RL algorithm. In simulation, we find that DPS outperforms or matches baselines averaged over multiple hyperparameter settings and varying feedback correctness.
