Fast Rates for Inverse Reinforcement Learning

arXiv:2605. 14599v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We establish novel structural and statistical results for entropy-regularized min-max inverse reinforcement learning (Min-Max-IRL) in finite-horizon MDPs with Borel state and action spaces.

End-to-End Efficient RL for Linear Bellman Complete MDPs with Deterministic Transitions

arXiv:2603. 23461v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study reinforcement learning (RL) with linear function approximation in Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) satisfying \emph{linear Bellman completeness} -- a fundamental setting where the Bellman backup of any linear value function remains linear.

Retry Policy Gradients in Continuous Action Spaces

arXiv:2606. 05888v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Retry-based objectives such as pass@K and max@K optimize the best return obtained from multiple sampled trajectories, and recent work has shown that they can promote exploration without explicit exploration bonuses.

Coherent Off-Policy Improvement of Large Behavior Models with Learned Rewards

arXiv:2606. 02194v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Distilling expert demonstration data into large generative models using behavioral cloning is a scalable approach to learning capable policies for robotic control, particularly for dexterous manipulation.
