We show promising results on a set of generated text-based games of varying difficulty where the goal is to collect a coin located at the end of a chain of rooms. In contrast to previous text-based RL approaches, we observe that our agent learns policies that generalize to unseen games of greater difficulty.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/counting-to-explore-and-generalize-in-text-based-games/}, pages = {1-12}, edition = {ICML 2018}, }
