arXiv:2606. 10613v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion-based Q-learning has emerged as a powerful paradigm for offline reinforcement learning, but its reliance on multi-step denoising makes both training and inference computationally expensive and brittle.

arXiv:2606. 14801v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Flow-matching and diffusion policies are expressive action generators, but optimizing them with temporal-difference reinforcement learning (RL) remains difficult.

arXiv:2608. 03069v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deep Q-Networks (DQNs) learn value functions through bootstrapped temporal-difference updates, where future returns are approximated using a greedy maximization over next-state action values.

arXiv:2608. 16182v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep Q-learning (DQL) has achieved remarkable empirical success in reinforcement learning, yet its training process remains notoriously unstable.

arXiv:2607. 23474v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper develops an online, off-policy policy-iteration framework for reinforcement learning (RL), based on sparse Gaussian-mixture-model Q-functions (S-GMM-QFs).
