  Over its lifetime, a reinforcement learning agent is often tasked with different tasks. How to efficiently adapt a previously learned control policy from one task to another, remains an open research question. In this paper, we investigate how instructions formulated in natural language can enable faster and more effective task adaptation. This can serve as the basis for developing language instructed skills, which can be used in a lifelong learning setting. Our method is capable of assessing, given a set of developed base control policies, which policy will adapt best to a new unseen task.
