arXiv:2607. 18554v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We develop the Continuous Distributed Coupled Policy Gradient (CDCPG) algorithm for cooperative reinforcement learning in networked Markov decision processes with continuous state and action spaces.

arXiv:2608. 07922v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Adaptive learning needs both a state that preserves what observations imply and opportunities to act on that state.

arXiv:2608. 12753v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study decentralized multi-player reinforcement learning in episodic tabular Markov decision processes (MDPs) under three forms of information asymmetry: (A) unobserved actions with common rewards, (B) observed actions with independent rewards, and (C) unobserved actions with independent rewards.

arXiv:2602. 09474v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study reinforcement learning in MDPs whose transition function is stochastic at most steps but may behave adversarially at a fixed subset of $\Lambda$ steps per episode.

arXiv:2608. 07301v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study what can be recovered about the transition probabilities of a Markov decision process from optimal actions alone.

arXiv:2606. 16515v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman theory implies that the optimal goal-conditioned action depends on the goal only through the gradient of the goal-reaching distance at the current state, yet standard online GCRL still conditions the actor on the raw goal -- a signal that is geometrically uninformative when the goal is far from the data distribution.

arXiv:2606. 25170v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study PAC learning in tabular discounted Markov decision processes with exogenous i.

arXiv:2607. 07538v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Training a model with noisy gradient descent can be idealized as overdamped Langevin dynamics on the loss landscape, and a natural safety question is to bound the probability $\nu_t(\mathcal{A}_H) = \mathbb{P}(Q_t \in \mathcal{A}_H)$ that the trajectory lies in a designated failure region $\mathcal{A}_H$.
By Adam M. Oberman
arXiv:2606. 01159v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study two-player zero-sum games (TPZSGs) with bandit feedback under fairness constraints requiring every action to be played with probability at least $\alpha/m$.

arXiv:2605. 01928v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We optimize losses that jump: spiking thresholds, quantized layers, and discrete routing put jumps in the forward pass, where backpropagation does not apply.

arXiv:2512. 23075v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Policy gradient methods for Large Language Models optimize a policy $\pi_\theta$ via a surrogate objective computed from samples of a rollout policy $\pi_{\text{roll}}$.
