Abstract
A reinforcement learning method and system that selects actions to be performed by a reinforcement learning agent interacting with an environment. A causal model is implemented by a hindsight model neural network and trained using hindsight i.e. using future environment state trajectories. As the method and system does not have access to this future information when selecting an action, the hindsight model neural network is used to train a model neural network which is conditioned on data from current observations, which learns to predict an output of the hindsight model neural network.
