arXiv:2601. 23075v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: On-policy Reinforcement Learning (RL) remains a dominant paradigm for continuous control, yet standard implementations rely on Gaussian actors and relatively shallow MLP policies, often leading to brittle optimization when gradients are noisy, and policy updates must be conservative.

arXiv:2606. 05888v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Retry-based objectives such as pass@K and max@K optimize the best return obtained from multiple sampled trajectories, and recent work has shown that they can promote exploration without explicit exploration bonuses.

arXiv:2602. 12643v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We present Unified Latent Dynamics (ULD), a novel reinforcement learning algorithm that unifies the efficiency of model-free methods with the representational strengths of model-based approaches, without incurring planning overhead.

arXiv:2408. 02295v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Conventional uncertainty-aware temporal difference (TD) learning often models TD errors as zero-mean Gaussian.

arXiv:2602. 10430v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Off-policy policy optimization reuses historical behavior, including negative-advantage samples that suppress known failures.

arXiv:2510. 11103v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Many robotic control tasks require policies to act on orientations, yet the geometry of SO(3) makes this nontrivial.
