Robust Successor Features

The paper introduces robust successor features, a method that extends the successor representation to handle uncertainty in both reward functions and transition kernels within linear Markov Decision Processes. It provides a theoretical bound on Generalized Policy Improvement that quantifies performance loss due to mismatched dynamics, and demonstrates the approach on grid-based benchmarks against prior methods that consider only reward or transition differences.
