What are the differences between model-free and model-based settings?

ByAdmin October 9, 2021October 9, 2021

In a model-based setting, we know nothing about environment dynamics. An agent is learning by optimizing some parametric model.

In a model-based setting, we can find out which (reward, next state) pairs are possible given current state and action.

In a model-free setting, we know nothing about environment dynamics. Optimization of agent decisions is based solely on sample-based experiences of the world.

Model-free learning requires probabilities of possible next states and rewards but does not require a sample model (aka simulator, aka generative model)

In a model-free setting, we know which (reward, next state) pairs are possible given current state and action.

For long episodes and very short planning time RP should be as fast as possible, TP can be much slower.

RP and TP are conflicting policies — the one that performs the best becomes the final result of planning.

Random RP is best, since improving the quality of RP may reduce the quality of MCTS planning.

MCTS is relatively insensitive to the quality of RP. So we can use random RP, but it is always better to make RP as good as possible.

For long episodes and short planning time TP should be as fast as possible, RP can be much slower.

Imagine you are the CEO of a Railroad company offering public transportation for 50 € a month. You have heard rumors that a new bus company is to be founded which also covers all destinations you are servicing. A big group of your customers is expected to be willing to switch to the new bus company because it is put off by your dominant market position and previous price increases. Market research has found out that switching to another company would be worth 150 € to them. However you know that this group of customers would also be suffering from the lower comfort (which can be expressed by 100 €)
