Using Reward Uncertainty to Induce Diverse Behaviour in Reinforcement Learning
Anthony GX-Chen, Ankit Anand, Gheorghe Comanici +7
Classical reinforcement learning (RL) typically seeks a deterministic policy that maximizes the expected sum of a scalar reward. Yet, modern applications such as language model fin…
Optimizing Return Distributions with Distributional Dynamic Programming
Bernardo Ávila Pires, Mark Rowland, Diana Borsa +6
We introduce distributional dynamic programming (DP) methods for optimizing statistical functionals of the return distribution, with standard reinforcement learning as a special ca…
Foundations of Multivariate Distributional Reinforcement Learning
Harley Wiltzer, Jesse Farebrother, Arthur Gretton +1
In reinforcement learning (RL), the consideration of multivariate reward signals has led to fundamental advancements in multi-objective decision-making, transfer learning, and repr…
A Unifying Framework for Action-Conditional Self-Predictive Reinforcement Learning
Khimya Khetarpal, Zhaohan Daniel Guo, Bernardo Avila Pires +7
Learning a good representation is a crucial challenge for Reinforcement Learning (RL) agents. Self-predictive learning provides means to jointly learn a latent representation and d…
