Q-Learning with Fine-Grained Gap-Dependent Regret

Haochen Zhang, Zhong Zheng, Lingzhou Xue

We study fine-grained gap-dependent regret bounds for model-free reinforcement learning in episodic tabular Markov Decision Processes. Existing model-free algorithms achieve minima…

Regret-Optimal Q-Learning with Low Cost for Single-Agent and Federated Reinforcement Learning

Haochen Zhang, Zhong Zheng, Lingzhou Xue

Motivated by real-world settings where data collection and policy deployment -- whether for a single agent or across multiple agents -- are costly, we study the problem of on-polic…

Gap-Dependent Bounds for Nearly Minimax Optimal Reinforcement Learning with Linear Function Approximation

Haochen Zhang, Zhong Zheng, Lingzhou Xue

We study gap-dependent performance guarantees for nearly minimax-optimal algorithms in reinforcement learning with linear function approximation. While prior works have established…

Few-Shot Learning for Industrial Time Series: A Comparative Analysis Using the Example of Screw-Fastening Process Monitoring

Xinyuan Tu

Few-shot learning (FSL) has shown promise in vision but remains largely unexplored for \emph{industrial} time-series data, where annotating every new defect is prohibitively expens…
