  abstract={Recent work in transfer learning has succeeded in
    Reinforcement learning agents typically require a significant
    amount of data before performing well on complex tasks.  Transfer
    learning methods have made progress reducing sample complexity,
    but they have primarily been applied to model-free learning
    methods, not more data-efficient model-based learning
    methods. This paper introduces TIMBREL, a novel method capable of
    transferring information effectively into a model-based
    reinforcement learning algorithm. We demonstrate that TIMBREL can
    significantly improve the sample efficiency and asymptotic
    performance of a model-based algorithm when learning in a
    continuous state space. Additionally, we conduct experiments to
    test the limits of TIMBREL's effectiveness.},
