arXiv:2606. 25335v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) value factorization methods can suffer from a loss of plasticity, gradually failing to adapt when transferring to new task instances.
Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) value factorization methods can suffer from a loss of plasticity, gradually failing to adapt when transferring to new task instances. We trace this issue to stagnant neurons, units whose gradient updates become negligibly small relative to their weights, thereby hindering learning.
arXiv:2607. 24996v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Neural networks are hindered by accumulating dormant neurons and loss of expressivity throughout training, particularly in non-stationary data settings, such as continual supervised and reinforcement learning.
arXiv:2512. 12713v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Control policies are often implemented with fixed-capacity multilayer perceptrons trained by backpropagation, which require architecture selection in advance and cannot adapt their capacity during learning.
arXiv:2603. 16842v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Stochastic resetting -- intermittently returning a process to a fixed reference state -- has emerged as an effective mechanism for optimizing first-passage properties.
arXiv:2608. 04358v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Continual learning (CL) requires models to learn tasks sequentially, yet deep neural networks often suffer from plasticity loss and poor knowledge transfer, which can impede their long-term adaptability.
arXiv:2507. 14056v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent work in continual learning has highlighted the stability gap -- a temporary performance drop on previously learned tasks when new ones are introduced.

arXiv:2609.21108v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) has achieved strong performance across a wide range of continuous-control problems. These continuous-control policies...
arXiv:2607. 17922v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Most reinforcement learning controllers for these networks assume stationary conditions, and the few that handle change react to the external environment while leaving the network's internal state unexamined.
