This Special Issue aims to highlight the growing field of Evolutionary Reinforcement Learning while proposing an outlet for the two communities, reinforcement learning (RL) and evolutionary algorithms (EA) to present new applications and ideas and discuss past and new challenges. We are particularly interested in papers at the intersection of optimization and reinforcement learning, such as the use of evolutionary optimization for data collection or tuning of reinforcement learning algorithms, reinforcement learning to configure and improve performance of evolutionary optimization, and any hybrids of evolutionary algorithms with other reinforcement learning techniques.
