- Abstract
- Reinforcement learning (RL) is a learning approach based on behavioral psychology used by artificial agents to learn autonomously by interacting with their environment. An open issue in RL is the lack of visibility and understanding for end-users in terms of decisions taken by an agent during the learning process. One way to overcome this issue is to endow the agent with the ability to explain in simple terms why a particular action is taken in a particular situation. In this work, we propose a memory-based explainable reinforcement learning (MXRL) approach. Using an episodic memory, the RL agent is able to explain its decisions by using the probability of success and the number of transactions to reach the goal state. We have performed experiments considering two variations of a simulated scenario, namely, an unbounded grid world with aversive regions and a bounded grid world. The obtained results show that the agent, using information extracted from the memory, is able to explain its behavior in an understandable manner for non-expert end-users at any moment during its operation
