CPC Code(s): G06F11/3684



Abstract: modern reinforcement learning systems produce many high-quality policies throughout the learning process. however, to choose which policy to actually deploy in the real world, they must be tested under an intractable number of environmental conditions. a process, called robust population optimization for a small set of test cases (“rposst”), can select a small set of test cases from a larger pool based on a relatively small number of sample evaluations. rposst can treat the test case selection problem as a two-player game and can optimize a solution with provable k-of-n robustness, bounding the error relative to a test that used all the test cases in the pool. empirical results demonstrate that rposst finds a small set of test cases that identify high quality policies in a toy one-shot game, poker datasets, and a high-fidelity racing simulator.
