Abstract

Goal for artificial agents: Learn the most efficient process for completing a task in a given domain o Corollary: Reuse and transfer learned knowledge o Previous work assumed that a mapping was provided or that all domains were identical o Our contributions:  Automatically map across domains with different objects and attributes  Leverage prior knowledge by identifying commonalities between source and target domains  Provide novel techniques for scoring mappings and abstracting domains o Our method outperforms Pickett and Barto's PolicyBlocks (2002) and MacGlashan's Transfer Options (2013)
