Policy Transfer
Policy transfer is a technique in reinforcement learning (RL) and artificial intelligence where learned policies or strategies are transferred from one environment to another. This method aims to enhance the efficiency of learning by leveraging pre-existing knowledge gained in a different, but related task or setting.
Challenges and Applications
- Robotics: In robotics, policy transfer can bridge the gap between simulated environments and real-world applications, helping robots learn complex tasks more efficiently.
- Autonomous Systems: Policy transfer is crucial for autonomous systems to adapt quickly to new situations without extensive retraining.
