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). The framework reconciles streaming, non-stationary data with the Riemannian structure of the parameter space while handling distributional mismatch through experience replay.

Value functions are an essential component in actor-critic based deep reinforcement learning (RL). Conventionally, these functions are trained as a regression task by minimising the mean squared error (MSE) relative to bootstrapped target values.
