In this paper, researchers in reinforcement learning (RL) aim to reduce the training time required for complex decision-making tasks. To achieve this, they explore knowledge transfer methods that reuse knowledge from a different task. This approach is particularly important for applications where data scarcity is a significant issue, such as robotics. The study reviews and categorizes existing methods for transferring knowledge across different domains in RL. It also discusses the main challenges facing cross-domain knowledge transfer and proposes future directions to address these issues. The paper focuses on the flexibility of RL methods in adapting to new tasks and finding domain-invariant features that facilitate knowledge transfer. By leveraging these features, the authors hope to accelerate learning in target tasks despite significant differences across problems.

This research paper is about how machines can learn to make decisions by practicing and making mistakes. It’s like when you’re trying to ride a bike for the first time – you might fall off a few times before you get it right! The problem is that this process takes a lot of data, which can be hard to come by in certain situations. For example, if we want robots to learn how to do tasks, they need a lot of data and practice to become good at those tasks. This paper looks at ways to make this process more efficient by sharing knowledge from one task to another. It’s like when you’re trying to learn a new language – it’s easier to pick up if someone explains it in a way that makes sense to you! The authors want to find the best ways to share knowledge between different tasks and domains, so machines can learn faster and more efficiently.
