arXiv:2603. 09344v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Offline reinforcement learning (RL) enables data-efficient and safe policy learning without online exploration, but its performance often degrades under distribution shift.

arXiv:2506. 13862v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In Reinforcement Learning (RL), regularization with a Kullback-Leibler divergence that penalizes large deviations between successive policies has emerged as a popular tool both in theory and practice.

arXiv:2606. 05888v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Retry-based objectives such as pass@K and max@K optimize the best return obtained from multiple sampled trajectories, and recent work has shown that they can promote exploration without explicit exploration bonuses.

arXiv:2607. 03168v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Entropy regularization is widely used in continuous-time reinforcement learning (RL) to reduce sensitivity to environmental perturbations, yet its robustness benefits lack a rigorous theoretical foundation.

arXiv:2606. 10979v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many Markov decision processes (MDPs) in operations research have feasible actions that are state dependent and defined implicitly by various operational constraints.
