AI agent — An AI system that doesn't just answer once but works toward a goal in a loop — taking actions, reading the results, and deciding what to do next.
Why it matters
A structured survey of modern exploration methods in deep RL — count-based bonuses, curiosity/forward-dynamics, and exploration via disagreement — giving AI agentAn AI system that doesn't just answer once but works toward a goal in a loop — taking actions, reading the results, and deciding what to do next.Full definition → builders a concrete map of techniques to combat premature convergence to local minima.
Key quotes
“Modern RL algorithms that optimize for the best returns can achieve good exploitation quite efficiently, while exploration remains more like an open topic.”
