Robust Federated Q-Learning with Almost No Communication

The paper introduces Robust Fed-Q, a federated Q‑learning algorithm designed for settings where multiple agents interact with a shared Markov Decision Process and communicate through a central server. It combines model‑based and model‑free reinforcement learning techniques with a median‑of‑means strategy from robust statistics to handle a small fraction of adversarial agents. The authors prove that Robust Fed-Q achieves exact convergence to the optimal value function with high probability, attains near‑optimal finite‑time rates that benefit from collaboration, and requires only “~O(1)” communication rounds per guarantee.
