Abstract

Methods, systems and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for training a value neural network that is configured to receive an observation characterizing a state of an environment being interacted with by an agent and to process the observation in accordance with parameters of the value neural network to generate a value score. One of the systems performs operations that include training a supervised learning policy neural network; initializing initial values of parameters of a reinforcement learning policy neural network having a same architecture as the supervised learning policy network to the trained values of the parameters of the supervised learning policy neural network; training the reinforcement learning policy neural network on second training data; and training the value neural network to generate a value score for the state of the environment that represents a predicted long-term reward resulting from the environment being in the state.
