Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for selecting an action to be performed by a reinforcement learning agent interacting with an environment. A current observation characterizing a current state of the environment is received. For each action in a set of multiple actions that can be performed by the agent to interact with the environment, a probability distribution is determined over possible Q returns for the action-current observation pair. For each action, a measure of central tendency of the possible Q returns with respect to the probability distributions for the action-current observation pair is determined. An action to be performed by the agent in response to the current observation is selected using the measures of central tendency.
