Near-Optimal Goal-Oriented Reinforcement Learning in Non-Stationary Environments
Liyu Chen, Haipeng Luo
We initiate the study of dynamic regret minimization for goal-oriented reinforcement learning modeled by a non-stationary stochastic shortest path problem with changing cost and tr…
Policy Learning and Evaluation with Randomized Quasi-Monte Carlo
Sebastien M. R. Arnold, Pierre L'Ecuyer, Liyu Chen +2
Reinforcement learning constantly deals with hard integrals, for example when computing expectations in policy evaluation and policy iteration. These integrals are rarely analytica…
Policy Optimization for Stochastic Shortest Path
Liyu Chen, Haipeng Luo, Aviv Rosenberg
Policy optimization is among the most popular and successful reinforcement learning algorithms, and there is increasing interest in understanding its theoretical guarantees. In thi…
Learning Infinite-Horizon Average-Reward Markov Decision Processes with Constraints
Liyu Chen, Rahul Jain, Haipeng Luo
We study regret minimization for infinite-horizon average-reward Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) under cost constraints. We start by designing a policy optimization algorithm with…
Online Learning for Stochastic Shortest Path Model via Posterior Sampling
Mehdi Jafarnia-Jahromi, Liyu Chen, Rahul Jain +1
We consider the problem of online reinforcement learning for the Stochastic Shortest Path (SSP) problem modeled as an unknown MDP with an absorbing state. We propose PSRL-SSP, a si…
Finding the Stochastic Shortest Path with Low Regret: The Adversarial Cost and Unknown Transition Case
Liyu Chen, Haipeng Luo
We make significant progress toward the stochastic shortest path problem with adversarial costs and unknown transition. Specifically, we develop algorithms that achieve $\widetilde…
