Abstract

Agents in reinforcement learning relies on reward to make movement, improve algorithms, and reach the final goal. However, reward setting is a subject that requires much engineering skills and experiences. Two types of reward, extrinsic reward and intrinsic reward, are totally different in ways of setting. A typical type of intrinsic reward is curiosity. Although there have been many studies on curiosity reward mechanisms in algorithms, the comparison and analysis of different methods are not comprehensive enough. The paper: (a) made detailed introduction to general types of extrinsic reward setting methods and their applications. (b) investigated the encoding methods for curiosity intrinsic reward and make comparisons among various derivations of different type of encoding methods. (c) demonstrated the agent performance implement different encoding methods and prove that encoding method has great influence on the reward setting of curiosity. Finally, the paper summarizes and looks forward to the full text.
