Claim 11:
12. A control method for a control apparatus that performs predetermined control for a predetermined system using reinforcement learning, comprising:
detecting an event in a life cycle of the predetermined system;
setting, in response to the detection of the event, an exploration parameter specified in accordance with the detected event as a value for adjusting a ratio of exploration in the reinforcement learning; and
executing the predetermined control using the reinforcement learning in accordance with the set exploration parameter,
wherein when a first event is detected, the exploration parameter is set in the setting so that the ratio of the exploration set during a first period after the first event is smaller than the ratio of the exploration set during a second period before the first event is detected.
