Random Ensemble Mixture (REM) is an easy to implement extension of DQN inspired by Dropout. The key intuition behind REM is that if one has access to multiple estimates of Q-values, then a weighted combination of the Q-value estimates is also an estimate for Q-values. Accordingly, in each training step, REM randomly combines multiple Q-value estimates and uses this random combination for robust training.
