Proximal Policy Optimization
Reviewed by Errol Vogt, Site support technician & online learning analyst · original summary · editorial policy
Proximal Policy Optimization. We’re releasing a new class of reinforcement learning algorithms, Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO), which perform comparably or better than state-of-the-art approaches while being much simpler to implement and tune. PPO has become the default reinforcement learning algorithm at OpenAI because of its ease of use and good performance. This update is relevant for small-office operators tracking changes in their tools.
Operator takeaway: For operators: review whether 'Proximal Policy Optimization' affects your current setup before relying on it in production.
