arXiv:2606. 01028v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Medical treatment recommendation poses several challenges to reinforcement learning (RL): patient physiology evolves in continuous time, measurements and interventions are performed at irregular intervals, and treatment effects vary substantially across individuals.

arXiv:2607. 05620v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In many decision-making settings, new interventions are acceptable only if they do not reduce outcomes below some established threshold.

arXiv:2607. 08793v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sepsis is a leading cause of mortality, yet optimal treatment policies remain contested.

arXiv:2606. 10376v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cancer treatment is at the core a sequential decision-making problem with partial observability, latent patient heterogeneity, and explicit constraints on the budget for medical measurements.

arXiv:2508. 03875v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Many sequential decision problems offer qualitatively different ways of influencing the environment: some interventions act immediately, whereas others induce persistent effects that continue to shape future states long after the decision that initiated them.

arXiv:2606. 19481v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Offline reinforcement learning (ORL) offers the potential to improve the quality of clinical decision-making using historical electronic health record (EHR) data.

arXiv:2606. 17405v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Clinical decision support AI systems (CDSASs) must adapt to evolving patient conditions in real-time while adhering to strict safety constraints.

arXiv:2607. 16916v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Bladder cancer treatment requires personalized and adaptive decision-making, particularly for recurrent disease, where treatment effectiveness changes across successive clinical episodes.

arXiv:2607. 01741v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a sequential decision-making framework in which an agent learns optimal policies through interaction with an environment by maximizing cumulative rewards.

arXiv:2307. 12022v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Optimizing individualized treatment sequences for patients who weigh multiple, competing outcomes differently poses a challenge for dynamic treatment regime (DTR) methods, which typically assume a single univariate outcome.

arXiv:2604. 12474v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In many robotic tasks, agents must traverse a sequence of spatial regions to complete a mission.

arXiv:2607. 16210v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) is increasingly applied in complex, safety-critical domains, yet the lack of rigorous behavioral guarantees for neural network-based policies remains a major barrier to deployment.
