Using Explainable Artificial Intelligence to Improve Transparency of Reinforcement Learning for Online Adaptive Flight Control: Breaking Open the Black Box

Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) shows great potential for flight control, due to its adaptability, fault-tolerance, and as it does not require an accurate system model. However, these techniques, like many machine learning applications, are considered black-box as their inner workings are hidden. This paper aims to break open the black box of...
