We investigate the relation between transfer learning in reinforcement learning with function approximation and supervised learning with concept drift. We present a new incremental relational regression tree algorithm that is capable of dealing with concept drift through tree restructuring and show that it enables a Q-learner to transfer knowledge from one task to another by recycling those parts of the generalized Q-function that still hold interesting information for the new task. We illustrate the performance of the algorithm in several experiments.
