Averaged over 200 runs.

HAMQ-INT

The idea is to identify and take advantage of internal transitions within a HAM, which is represented as a partial program, for efficient hierarchical reinforcement learning. Details can be found in:

MAXQ-OP

This is the code release of MAXQ-OP algorithm on the Taxi domain as described in papers:
