Explainable Reinforcement Learning with the Tsetlin Machine.

The Tsetlin Machine is a recent supervised machine learning algorithm that has obtained competitive results in several benchmarks, both in terms of accuracy and resource usage. It has been used for convolution, classification, and regression, producing interpretable rules. In this paper, we introduce the first framework for reinforcement learning based on the Tsetlin Machine. We combined the value iteration algorithm with the regression Tsetlin Machine, as the value function approximator, to investigate the feasibility of training the Tsetlin Machine through bootstrapping. Moreover, we document robustness and accuracy of learning on several instances of the grid-world problem.
