Abstract
An apparatus has a memory storing a reinforcement learning policy with an optimization component and a data collection component. The apparatus has a regularization component which applies regularization selectively between the optimization component of the reinforcement learning policy and the data collection component of the reinforcement learning policy. A processor carries out a reinforcement learning process by: triggering execution of an agent according to the policy and with respect to a first task; observing values of variables comprising: an observation space of the agent, an action of the agent; and updating the policy using reinforcement learning according to the observed values and taking into account the regularization.
