arXiv:2606. 26397v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Real-world decision-making often requires balancing multiple conflicting objectives, a challenge that standard Reinforcement Learning (RL) frequently addresses by aggregating rewards into a single scalar signal.

arXiv:2606. 18111v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Fairness is an important aspect of decision-making in multi-objective reinforcement learning (MORL), where policies must ensure both optimality and equity across multiple, potentially conflicting objectives.

arXiv:2608. 02826v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning is a subfield of machine learning that studies how an agent interacts with an environment in order to extract as large a reward as possible.

arXiv:2607. 28916v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multistep credit assignment is critical for sample-efficient reinforcement learning, yet managing off-policy bias in Q-learning remains a fundamental challenge.

arXiv:2608. 18008v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Combining large language models with reinforcement learning is increasingly explored, yet the theoretical status of LLM-derived reward signals is often left implicit.

arXiv:2604. 13780v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Soft Q-learning has emerged as a versatile model-free method for entropy-regularised reinforcement learning, optimising for returns augmented with a penalty on the divergence from a reference policy.

arXiv:2607. 03140v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Industrial automation increasingly demands control strategies that balance operational performance with strict energy efficiency requirements.

arXiv:2512. 14617v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Many practical decision-making problems involve tasks whose success depends on the entire system history, rather than on achieving a state with desired properties.
