Questions tagged [options]

For questions related to the concept of an option in reinforcement learning. An option can be viewed as a generalization of an action. Intuitively, it's a macro-action composed of other actions. Formally, it can be defined as a tuple composed of an initiation set, a policy, and a termination set/condition. This notion of option or macro-action gives rise to hierarchical reinforcement learning and semi-Markov decision processes.
