arXiv:2608. 14114v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As the integration of volatile renewable energy sources increases the strain on modern power grids, the use of Reinforcement Learning (RL) for autonomous topological reconfiguration has emerged as a promising research field to keep strained grids stable and operational.

arXiv:2606. 00880v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Continual reinforcement learning aims to produce agents that learn not only to improve at their current tasks but also to adapt as task distributions change.

arXiv:2606. 11797v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Studies on rodents such as mice have shown the capabilities to adapt their behavior when dealing with changing parameters (``drift'') of the environment even if no information about change is provided (uncertainty) -- a behavior that can be modeled by forgetting mechanisms.
By Felix St\"orck, Fabian Hinder, Barbara Hammer
arXiv:2606. 00427v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: State abstraction in reinforcement learning is usually formulated as a partition of states based on reward and transition similarity.

arXiv:2606. 03382v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) demonstrates strong performance in stationary settings, we show that its standard optimization paradigm struggles in continual and non-stationary environments.
