Abstract
We present an architecture where a feedback controller derived on an approximate model of the environment assists the learning process to enhance its data efficiency. This architecture, which we term as Control-Tutored Q-learning (CTQL), is presented in two alternative flavours. The former is based on defining the reward function so that a Boolean condition can be used to determine when the control tutor policy is adopted, while the latter, termed as probabilistic CTQL (pCTQL), is instead based on executing calls to the tutor with a certain probability during learning. Both approaches are validated, and thoroughly benchmarked against Q-Learning, by considering the stabilization of an inverted pendulum as defined in OpenAI Gym as a representative problem.
