Claim One:
1. An information processing apparatus comprising: circuitry configured to generate, through machine learning, a reward estimator that estimates a reward value from inputted state data and action data using action history data, which includes state data expressing a state of an agent, action data expressing an action taken by the agent in the state, and the reward value expressing a reward obtained by the agent as a result of the action, as learning data, preferentially select, out of actions that can be taken by the agent, an action that has a high reward value estimated using the reward estimator and that is not included in the action history data, and cause the agent to carry out the selected action, add to the action history data the state data and the action data obtained in a process of the action and a reward value obtained as a result of the action in association with each other, wherein the circuitry is further configured to, when a set of the state data, the action data, and the reward value has been added to the action history data, regenerate the reward estimator.
