    Optimism in Reinforcement Learning and Kullback-Leibler Divergence

    , ALLERTON 2010

    We consider model-based reinforcement learning in finite Markov De- cisionProcesses (MDPs), focussing on so-called optimistic strategies. In MDPs,optimism can be implemented by carrying out extended value it- erations under aconstraint of consistency with the estimated model tran- sition probabilities.The UCRL2 algorithm by Auer, Jaksch and Ortner (2009), which follows thisstrategy, has recently been shown to guarantee near-optimal regret bounds. Inthis paper, we strongly argue in favor of using the Kullback-Leibler (KL)divergence for this purpose. By studying the linear maximization problem underKL constraints, we provide an ef- ficient algorithm, termed KL-UCRL, forsolving KL-optimistic extended value iteration. Using recent deviation boundson the KL divergence, we prove that KL-UCRL provides the same guarantees asUCRL2 in terms of regret. However, numerical experiments on classicalbenchmarks show a significantly improved behavior, particularly when the MDPhas reduced connectivity. To support this observation, we provide elements ofcom- parison between the two algorithms based on geometric considerations.
