Abstract

This chapter contains an empirical evaluation of the learning performance and generalization and transfer learning capabilities of RLPR-based representations in a goal-directed reinforcement learning task in an indoor office environment. It subsumes experiments performed over a longer period of research, so part of the results originate from peer-reviewed journal or conference contributions published by the author.
