arXiv:2608. 12973v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this paper, we study how to perform statistical inference for quantile temporal difference learning (QTD) in distributional reinforcement learning.
arXiv:2605. 12410v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We propose and analyze a model-based bootstrap for transition kernels in finite controlled Markov chains (CMCs) with possibly nonstationary or history-dependent control policies, a setting that arises naturally in offline reinforcement learning (RL) when the behavior policy generating the data is unknown.
arXiv:2607. 08444v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this paper, we study quantile-based distributional reinforcement learning from the perspective of statistical efficiency.
arXiv:2605. 26000v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Stochastic gradient descent (SGD) is foundational to large-scale statistical learning and stochastic optimization.
arXiv:2606. 05967v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this paper, we study the finite-time behavior of the TD(0) temporal-difference method with linear function approximation (LFA).
arXiv:2607. 17595v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We establish mean-square and concentration bounds for stochastic approximation (SA) with arbitrary norm contractive mappings, under a multiplicative noise model where the noise may scale affinely with the norm of the iterates, and the iterates are potentially unbounded.
