FORK, or Forward Looking Actor is a type of actor for actor-critic algorithms. In particular, FORK includes a neural network that forecasts the next state given the current state and current action, called system network; and a neural network that forecasts the reward given a (state, action) pair, called reward network. With the system network and reward network, FORK can forecast the next state and consider the value of the next state when improving the policy.
