Abstract

Reinforcement Learning is a framework for algorithms that learn by interacting with an unknown environment. In recent years, combining this approach with deep learning has led to major advances in various fields. Numerous hyperparameters – e.g. the learning rate – influence the learning process and are usually determined by testing some variations. This selection strongly influences the learning result and requires a lot of time and experience. The automation of this process has the potential to make Deep Reinforcement Learning available to a wider audience and to achieve superior results. This paper presents a model-based hyperparameter optimization of the Deep Deterministic Policy Gradients (DDPG) algorithm and demonstrates it with a hybrid vehicle energy management environment. In the given case, the hyperparameter optimization is able to double the gained reward value of the DDPG agent.
