Experience in Using the Transformer Network Architecture to Approximate Agent’s Policy in Reinforcement Learning

32

Abstract

This paper discusses the basics of the deep reinforcement learning algorithm and the use of neural networks to approximate the agent’s policy. The comparison of using a fully connected neural network and a transformer network in the reinforcement learning algorithm is considered.
