Abstract

Since Deep Q-Learning was introduced in 2013, a lot of academia and industry researchers, tried to use it to solve their problems, in different fields. However, Deep Q-Learning does not consist of a unified method for solving certain problems. In contrary, every problem requires specific settings and parameters. In this paper, we propose a Deep Q-Network with Experience Optimization, for Atari’s “Space Invaders” environment. Training and Testing results show that, while using our proposed network, there is a strong correlation between the key action (shoot) and scoring.
