It is well known that ensemble methods often provide enhanced performance in
reinforcement learning. In this paper, we explore this concept further by using group-aided
training within the distributional reinforcement learning paradigm. Specifically, we propose
an extension to categorical reinforcement learning, where distributional learning targets are
implicitly based on the total information gathered by an ensemble. We empirically show that
this may lead to much more robust initial learning, a stronger individual performance level�…

In this paper, we explore this concept further by using group-aided training within the distributional reinforcement learning paradigm. Specifically, we propose an extension to categorical reinforcement learning, where distributional learning targets are implicitly based on the total information gathered by an ensemble. We empirically show that this may lead to much more robust initial learning, a stronger individual performance level, and good efficiency on a per-sample basis.
