VerifiedReward shaping refers to adding extra, denser guiding reward signals on top of the original sparse reward to help agents learn faster and more correctly.72% similarUnverifiedThe NGU algorithm superimposes external rewards with two types of intrinsic rewards: a short-term reward based on intra-episode novelty and a long-term reward based on lifetime novelty.68% similarUnverifiedTraditional approaches include introducing intermediate rewards, reward shaping, or hindsight relabeling (such as HER), but these methods either rely on manual design or are difficult to adapt to the highly heterogeneous scenarios in MLE where code execution feedback is complex.67% similar
