Looks like the "UNREAL" (https://arxiv.org/abs/1611.05397), "Learning to reinforcement learn" (https://arxiv.org/abs/1611.05763) and "RL^2" (https://arxiv.org/abs/1611.02779) are state of art in pure RL for now.

Finally there is a trend of using recurrent neural network as a top component of the Q-network. Perhaps we will see even more sophisticated RNNs like DNC and Recurrent Entity Networks applied here. Also we'll see meta-reinforcement learning applied to a curriculum of environments.
