A common challenge for learning when applied to a complex ``target'' task is
that learning that task all at once can be too difficult due to inefficient
exploration given a sparse reward signal. Curriculum Learning addresses this
challenge by sequencing training tasks for a learner to facilitate gradual
learning. One of the crucial steps in finding a suitable curriculum learning
approach is to understand the dimensions along which the domain can be
factorized. In this paper, we identify different types of factorizations
common in the literature of curriculum learning for reinforcement learning
tasks: factorizations that involve the agent, the environment, or the
mission. For each factorization category, we identify the relevant algorithms
and techniques that leverage that factorization and present several case
studies to showcase how leveraging an appropriate factorization can boost
learning using a simple curriculum.
