ϵ-Greedy Exploration is an exploration strategy in reinforcement learning that takes an exploratory action with probability ϵ and a greedy action with probability 1-ϵ. It tackles the exploration-exploitation tradeoff with reinforcement learning algorithms: the desire to explore the state space with the desire to seek an optimal policy. Despite its simplicity, it is still commonly used as an behaviour policy π in several state-of-the-art reinforcement learning models.

Papers per year the archive tags with this method, by the paper's archive date (5 dated). Bars are counts, not a trend claim.

Components: the archive holds no method-to-method composition, so PwC's Components table cannot be rebuilt; the Papers list carries no Results column for the same reason (the archive does not join its leaderboard rows to method tags).
