Transfer Learning with Reinforcement Learning

Transfer Learning with Reinforcement Learning (Transfer RL) is a training paradigm in which knowledge acquired by an agent in one or more source tasks — encoded as policy weights, value functions, or learned representations — is reused to accelerate or improve learning in a related but different target task. It directly addresses the sample-inefficiency that plagues reinforcement learning from scratch in complex or expensive environments.
