Hierarchical Support Vector State Partitioning for Distilling Black Box Reinforcement Learning Policies

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

arXiv:2605. 04254v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We introduce State Vector Space Partitioning (SVSP), a novel method to mimic a black box reinforcement learning policy using a set of human-interpretable subpolicies.

Fast and Highly Expressive Policy Learning for Offline Reinforcement Learning via Bootstrapped Flow Q-Learning

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.

Approximate Next Policy Sampling: Replacing Conservative Target Policy Updates in Deep RL

arXiv:2605. 05481v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We revisit a classic "chicken-and-egg" problem in reinforcement learning: to safely improve a policy, the value function must be accurate on the state-visitation distribution of the updated policy.

Interpretable Policy Distillation for Power Grid Topology Control

arXiv:2606. 00561v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep reinforcement learning (RL) offers a promising route to real-time power grid operation, yet large neural policies are costly to evaluate, hard to deploy on constrained hardware, and opaque to operators.
