Abstract :
A particular version of the cart-pole problem has recently been solved trivially by Moody and Tresp (1994). We present a reinforcement learning pole balancer which learns a solution to the problem nearly as quickly. Our controller, however, does not make use of a predefined representation of the input space, but instead learns an appropriate representation using a multilayer evaluation network. The hidden (representation) layer of the evaluation network is adapted using a predictive Hebbian learning algorithm
