Reinforcement Learning with Imperfect Transition Predictions: A Bellman-Jensen Approach

Chenbei Lu, Zaiwei Chen, Tongxin Li +2

Traditional reinforcement learning (RL) assumes the agents make decisions based on Markov decision processes (MDPs) with one-step transition models. In many real-world applications…

Maximizing the Value of Predictions in Control: Accuracy Is Not Enough

Yiheng Lin, Christopher Yeh, Zaiwei Chen +1

We study the value of stochastic predictions in online optimal control with random disturbances. Prior work provides performance guarantees based on prediction error but ignores th…

Overcoming the Curse of Dimensionality in Reinforcement Learning Through Approximate Factorization

Chenbei Lu, Laixi Shi, Zaiwei Chen +2

Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithms are known to suffer from the curse of dimensionality, which refers to the fact that large-scale problems often lead to exponentially high sam…

Decentralized Best-Response-Based Learning in Two-Player Zero-Sum Stochastic Games: A Finite-Sample Analysis

Zaiwei Chen, Kaiqing Zhang, Eric Mazumdar +2

We present a finite-sample analysis of decentralized learning in two-player zero-sum matrix games and stochastic games, with a focus on best-response-based learning algorithms. In…

Approximate Global Convergence of Independent Learning in Multi-Agent Systems

Ruiyang Jin, Zaiwei Chen, Yiheng Lin +2

Independent learning (IL), despite being a popular approach in practice to achieve scalability in large-scale multi-agent systems, usually lacks global convergence guarantees. In t…

Two-Timescale Q-Learning with Function Approximation in Zero-Sum Stochastic Games

Zaiwei Chen, Kaiqing Zhang, Eric Mazumdar +2

We consider two-player zero-sum stochastic games and propose a two-timescale -learning algorithm with function approximation that is payoff-based, convergent, rational, and symm…
