Synthetic Monitoring Environments for Reinforcement Learning

Leonard Pleiss, Carolin Schmidt, Maximilian Schiffer

Reinforcement Learning (RL) lacks benchmarks that enable precise, white-box diagnostics of agent behavior. Current environments often entangle complexity factors and lack ground-tr…

Target-Aligned Reinforcement Learning

Leonard S. Pleiss, James Harrison, Maximilian Schiffer

Many value-based deep reinforcement learning algorithms rely on target networks - lagged copies of the online network - to stabilize training. While effective, this mechanism intro…

Disentangling generalization and memorization in large language models using chess

Leonard S. Pleiss, Maximilian Schiffer, Robert K. von Weizsaecker

Large Language Models (LLMs) exhibit remarkable capabilities, yet it remains unclear to what extent these reflect sophisticated recall or genuine reasoning ability. We introduce ch…

Reliability-Adjusted Prioritized Experience Replay

Leonard S. Pleiss, Tobias Sutter, Maximilian Schiffer

Experience replay enables data-efficient learning from past experiences in online reinforcement learning agents. Traditionally, experiences were sampled uniformly from a replay buf…
