1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

In recent years, brain science and neuroscience have greatly propelled the innovation of computer science. In particular, knowledge from the neurobiology and neuropsychology of the brain revolutionized the development of reinforcement learning (RL) by providing novel interpretable mechanisms of how the brain achieves intelligent and efficient decision making. Triggered by this, there has been a boom in research about advanced RL algorithms that are built upon the inspirations of brain neuroscience. In this work, to further strengthen the bidirectional link between the 2 communities and especially promote the research on modern RL technology, we provide a comprehensive survey of recent advances in the area of brain-inspired/related RL algorithms. We start with basis theories of RL, and present a concise introduction to brain neuroscience related to RL. Then, we classify these advanced RL methodologies into 3 categories according to different connections of the brain, i.e., micro-neural activity, macro-brain structure, and cognitive function. Each category is further surveyed by presenting several modern RL algorithms along with their mathematical models, correlations with the brain, and open issues. Finally, we introduce several important applications of RL algorithms, followed by the discussions of challenges and opportunities for future research.
