Learning in Low-Dimensional Subspaces: Orthogonal Bottlenecks for Reinforcement Learning

arXiv:2605. 26012v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Deep reinforcement learning (RL) agents commonly rely on high-dimensional neural representations, despite growing evidence that task-relevant value and policy structure may be intrinsically low-dimensional.

Regularized Latent Dynamics Prediction is a Strong Baseline For Behavioral Foundation Models

The paper introduces Regularized Latent Dynamics Prediction (RLDP), a method that adds orthogonality regularization to self‑supervised next‑state prediction in latent space. RLDP maintains feature diversity, matching or surpassing complex representation learning approaches for zero‑shot reinforcement learning. It also performs robustly in low‑coverage data settings where prior methods fail.

Unsupervised Behavioral Compression: Learning Low-Dimensional Policy Manifolds through State-Occupancy Matching

arXiv:2603. 27044v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) is widely recognized as sample-inefficient, a limitation attributable in part to the high dimensionality and substantial functional redundancy inherent to the policy parameter space.

Discovering Interpretable Multi-Parameter Control Policies for Evolutionary Algorithms Using Deep Reinforcement Learning

arXiv:2606. 10129v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While deep Reinforcement Learning (deep-RL) has been increasingly applied to parameter control in evolutionary algorithms, rigorous theoretical analysis of parameter control remains largely restricted to single-parameter settings, owing to the difficulty of deriving effective, interpretable multi-parameter policies amenable to formal study.
