arXiv:2607. 07967v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion-based policies have recently emerged as powerful policy parameterizations for reinforcement learning, representing state-conditioned action distributions as terminal laws of diffusion processes with parameterized drifts.
arXiv:2608. 14401v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In offline RL, estimating the optimal action-value function $Q^*$ can be formulated as solving the optimal Bellman equation based solely on offline observations.
arXiv:2601. 08136v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Diffusion and flow policies are gaining prominence in online reinforcement learning (RL) due to their expressive power, yet training them efficiently remains a critical challenge.
arXiv:2607. 18554v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We develop the Continuous Distributed Coupled Policy Gradient (CDCPG) algorithm for cooperative reinforcement learning in networked Markov decision processes with continuous state and action spaces.
arXiv:2607. 17595v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We establish mean-square and concentration bounds for stochastic approximation (SA) with arbitrary norm contractive mappings, under a multiplicative noise model where the noise may scale affinely with the norm of the iterates, and the iterates are potentially unbounded.
arXiv:2606. 14095v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study the sample complexity of learning in average-reward weakly-coupled Markov decision processes (WCMDPs) and Restless Bandits (RBs) under a generative model.
arXiv:2607. 20540v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: How should a diffusion model decide which noise levels to train on, and how much?
arXiv:2606. 03820v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We develop a quantitative approximation framework for diffusion distillation, viewing few-step sampling as error propagation under compositions of learned flow maps.
arXiv:2411. 01982v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study the problem of learning controlled stochastic differential equations (SDEs) \[ dX_t = b(t,X_t,u_t)\,dt + \sigma(t,X_t,u_t)\,dW_t, \] whose drift and diffusion depend nonlinearly on time, state, and control values.
arXiv:2606. 04335v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The framework of robust Markov decision processes (RMDPs) allows the design of reinforcement learning agents that satisfy performance guarantees under worst-case transition dynamics.
arXiv:2607. 08757v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Score matching controls average error under the forward marginals, but a discretized reverse-time sampler evaluates the learned score along its own trajectory.
arXiv:2409. 01447v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We present a finite-sample analysis of decentralized learning in two-player zero-sum matrix games and stochastic games, with a focus on best-response-based learning algorithms.
