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.

Abstract: We study switching regret in adversarial multi-armed bandits, where the learner competes with an arm sequence that changes at most $S$ times. When $S$...

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.

The paper introduces Fed‑LSVI, a federated online reinforcement learning algorithm that uses linear function approximation in episodic Markov decision processes. It achieves a regret bound of ≥O(√{Md^3H^4T}) while only exchanging compressed sufficient statistics, thereby meeting privacy constraints. The method reduces communication cost to logarithmic in the number of episodes, a marked improvement over previous approaches that required linear communication.
