Efficient Online Reinforcement Learning Fine-Tuning Need Not Retain Offline Data

Zhiyuan Zhou, Andy Peng, Qiyang Li +2

The modern paradigm in machine learning involves pre-training on diverse data, followed by task-specific fine-tuning. In reinforcement learning (RL), this translates to learning vi…
