Sparse Reward Design

Sparse Reward Design is a reward engineering methodology in reinforcement learning wherein the reward signal is deliberately structured to be provided only at sparse intervals or upon achievement of specific milestones, distinguishing it from dense reward designs by its minimal and infrequent feedback to guide agent learning.
