    Distributed Deep Q-Learning
    May 2015
    We propose a distributed deep learning model to learn control policies directly from high-dimensional sensory input using reinforcement learning (RL). We adapt the DistBelief software framework to efficiently train the deep RL agents using the Apache Spark cluster computing framework. This work was implemented using the Spark Python API.
