| Περίληψη: | In this work we show how to represent policies as programs: that is, as stochastic simulators with tunable parameters. To learn the parameters of such policies we develop connections between black box variational inference and existing policy search approaches. We then explain how such learning can be implemented in a probabilistic programming system. Using our own novel implementation of such a system we demonstrate both conciseness of policy representation and automatic policy parameter learning for a set of canonical reinforcement learning problems. |
