Since the news of Q* broke, many researchers outside OpenAI have speculated about whether the name is a reference to other existing techniques within the field, such as Q-learning, a technique for ...

OpenAI Qstar algorithm Watch this video on YouTube. What makes the Q* algorithm particularly powerful is its combination of Q-learning with advanced pathfinding techniques.

We propose for risk-sensitive control of finite Markov chains a counterpart of the popular Q-learning algorithm for classical Markov decision processes. The algorithm is shown to converge with ...

To put these approaches into practice, researchers use a variety of exotic-sounding algorithms, from kernel machines to Q-learning. But since the 2010s, artificial neural networks have taken center ...
