INITIAL RESULTS OF A REINFORCEMENT LEARNING MODEL USING A HEURISTIC

Systems and methods for improving initial results of a reinforcement learning model are described herein. In an embodiment, a server computer initiates a reinforcement learning model for a modeled system. While executing the reinforcement learning model, the server computer computes a first result value for a particular action using the reinforcement learning model and a second result value for the particular action using a heuristic separate from the reinforcement model. Based, at least in part, on the first result value for the particular action and the second result value for the particular action, the server computer performs the particular action. The server computer determining a result from performing the particular action and updates the reinforcement learning model.
