Title: FactoredRL: Leveraging Factored Graphs for Deep Reinforcement Learning. Abstract: We propose a simple class of deep reinforcement learning (RL) methods, called FactoredRL, that can leverage factored environment structures to improve the sample efficiency of existing model-based and model-free RL algorithms. In tabular and linear approximation settings, the factored Markov decision process literature has shown exponential improvements in sample efficiency by leveraging factored environment structures. We extend this to deep RL algorithms that use neural networks. For model-based algorithms, we use the factored structure to inform the state transition network architecture and for model-free algorithms we use the factored structure to inform the Q network or the policy network architecture.  We demonstrate that doing this significantly improves sample efficiency in both discrete and continuous state-action space settings.
