Re: Actor-Critic Methods: A3C and A2C

zafarali — Thu, 28 Jun 2018 21:05:24 -0000

Great blog post. Finally someone who took the time to point out the differences between A2C and A3C!

Maybe some clarity on 1:
From Sutton's book chapter on policy gradient algorithms, he specifically says that REINFORCE is not an actor critic method because the critic is not being used to anticipate the actors action (i.e. it is used only at the end as a variance reduction technique) whereas Actor-Critic methods are more online-ish and are used to quickly iterate and improve upon each other.

Thank you, I moved to a new country last year and my mother gave me the same few base ingredients. You might think of adding Tomatoes and Onions to your list as they are basics for a wide variety of daily indian dishes. Great blog found a few days ago, enjoying it very much!

what about intracity ones?
like between kollupitya and pettah or slave island or wellawate?
a map or some sort of guide will surely make travelling by bus alot more easier and less confusing!
