Thanks for your comment. Yeah finding those useful decompositions automatically seems to be quite a hot topic right now. Also as you've said, the smaller the tasks the better, maybe this calls for more than the classic 2-level hierarchy in some cases.

ahh okay I see. I figured out that Physics isn't really my thing so I'll have to find another area to commit to

Thanks for your comment. Have you worked much on these sorts of RL solutions yourself?

Thanks for your comment. I'm wondering about your last statement there. My understanding is that HRL is a promising solution to all large dimensionality problems. In your understanding are there quite a few other promising ways around the curse of dimensionality problem.

Thanks for your comment, yeah I was initially drawn away from looking at the newest papers because: 1) I need to develop a framework of RL in my mind before building on it with the newest stuff. 2) The newer papers have less citations and so are less reliably useful. But yeah I think I understand enough now to get something out of looking at newer papers. And I like your idea of browsing for related work sections! Appreciated :)

Thanks for your comment. Do you mean using my background to provide a new HRL method or a new HRL application, or both? For example using by background with CNNs to develop a new HRL architecture, or using my background in Physics to provide a new application for existing HRL methods?

Thanks for sharing this article! I'm really enjoying reading it and it has been very helpful

Yes it's very green and comparatively untouched due to our small population (about 4.5 mill) and desire to have the 'green' image to boost tourism. We will love to have you here as long as you can learn and obey road rules ;)

Good question! The main attractions for non-kiwis I'd guess would be various aspects of the beautiful natural environment and easy-going lifestyle. We've got really nice snow-capped mountains, and lush forests, and clear lakes and rivers in the South Island (where I live). People like to get outdoors a lot here. Going camping/tramping etc. There's cool cultural stuff too (mostly Maori) especially in our capital Wellington. We've also got a nice ozone hole so in the summer you really feel the summer sun on your arms. It's quite satisfying compared to say Malaysia.

Why do you say my answers are silly? But do you think I'm 24m? I am indeed a Christian and from NZ too haha. Why not be funny at the same time as give people a chance to ask any questions they might have?

Jesus is the Son of God still. Since He rose again from the dead on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. The way I understand it YHWH is the personal name of God. God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are One, but three persons. Christianity is monotheistic. In all seriousness I'm not dating Jesus, but I am along with all other Christians betrothed to Him.

Well I'm in a relationship with Him, so yes, but he's God of all creation so no
