Trajectory-Regularized Stochastic Optimal Control via KL Divergence

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

arXiv:2607. 22201v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce trajectory-regularized stochastic optimal control (TRSOC), which augments standard stochastic optimal control (SOC) with a Kullback--Leibler (KL) divergence between controlled and reference trajectory distributions.

Adjoint Matching through the Lens of the Stochastic Maximum Principle in Optimal Control

arXiv:2604. 08580v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reward fine-tuning of diffusion and flow models and sampling from tilted or Boltzmann distributions can both be formulated as stochastic optimal control (SOC) problems, where learning an optimal generative dynamics corresponds to optimizing a control under SDE constraints.

Learning to Solve Stochastic Controls with Unknown Drifts and Running Rewards: Theory, Algorithms and Convergence

The paper investigates continuous‑time stochastic control problems with unknown drift and running reward functions, using an exploratory reinforcement learning framework that incorporates relaxed controls and entropy regularization. It develops policy‑iteration algorithms based on probabilistic representations of the optimal value function and its gradient, proving convergence and demonstrating performance through numerical examples. The study also extends to a special case with control‑dependent diffusion, requiring a Hessian representation.
