AsyncQVI: Asynchronous-Parallel Q-Value Iteration for Discounted Markov Decision Processes with Near-Optimal Sample Complexity

Yibo Zeng, Fei Feng, Wotao Yin

Abstract: In this paper, we propose AsyncQVI, an asynchronous-parallel Q-value iteration for discounted Markov decision processes whose transition and reward can only be sampled through a generative model. A...
