arXiv:2606. 26527v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We propose Safety-Regulated Adaptive Transfer Reinforcement Learning (SRATRL), a teacher--student framework that combines safety-triggered intervention, safety-adaptive value shaping, and policy-compatibility-based optimization for efficient target-domain adaptation.
arXiv:2509. 25582v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In-context reinforcement learning (ICRL) is an emerging RL paradigm where an agent, after pretraining, can adapt to out-of-distribution test tasks without any parameter updates, instead relying on an expanding context of interaction history.
arXiv:2609.15915v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Meta-reinforcement learning (meta-RL) enables agents to adapt to unseen tasks with limited experience. Despite its promise, the application of meta-RL...
The paper proves that using a permissive safety filter in reinforcement learning does not compromise asymptotic performance. By formalizing safety through a safety‑critical Markov decision process and a filtered MDP, the authors show that optimal policies in the filtered MDP achieve the same return as the best safe policy in the original setting. Experiments on Safety Gymnasium confirm zero violations during training and performance that matches or exceeds unfiltered baselines.
