We aim to develop automated techniques for setting the hyperparameters of deep reinforcement learning (RL) approaches in a sample-efficient manner for small datasets, thus reducing uncertainty. We will create appropriate benchmarks and then investigate the performance of currently existing hyperparameter optimization (HPO) methods, to then develop automated approaches. This will include a dynamically meta-level control with the use of a robust hyperparameter transfer for online HPO for offline RL and neural architecture search.
