Learning to Discover at Test Time
Started reading this one yesterday. Seems like the next stage of RL. From the paper:
At a high level, we simply perform Reinforcement Learning (RL) in an environment defined by the single test problem, so any technique in standard RL could be applied. However, our goal has two critical differences from that of standard RL. First, our policy only needs to solve this single problem rather than generalize to other problems. Second, we only need a single best solution, and the policy is merely a means towards this end. In contrast, the policy is the end in standard RL, whose goal is to maximize the average reward across all attempts. While the first difference is a recurring theme in the field of test-time training Sun et al. (2020), the second is unique to discovery problems.
