FreKoo++: Learning Continuous Spectral Dynamics for Temporal Domain Generalization

FreKoo++ is a continuous spectral-dynamical framework designed for Temporal Domain Generalization (TDG). It unifies continuous Koopman modal dynamics with adaptive spectral disentanglement, mapping source-domain parameters into a latent space and modeling their evolution as a superposition of learnable continuous modes. The method handles irregular timestamps, supports arbitrary horizon extrapolation, and introduces an adaptive soft spectral weighting mechanism that isolates persistent dynamics from transient noise, achieving state‑of‑the‑art performance on discrete and continuous TDG benchmarks.

Shift Before You Learn: Enabling Low-Rank Representations in Reinforcement Learning

The paper challenges the common assumption that the successor measure in reinforcement learning is approximately low-rank, showing instead that a low-rank structure emerges in a shifted successor measure that ignores initial transitions. It provides finite-sample guarantees for estimating this low-rank approximation, introduces Type II Poincaré inequalities to bound spectral recoverability, and links the necessary shift to the decay of high-order singular values and local mixing properties. Experiments confirm that shifting the successor measure improves goal-conditioned RL performance.
