Overcoming the Sim-to-Real Gap: Leveraging Simulation to Learn to Explore for Real-World RL

Andrew Wagenmaker, Kevin Huang, Liyiming Ke +3

In order to mitigate the sample complexity of real-world reinforcement learning, common practice is to first train a policy in a simulator where samples are cheap, and then deploy…

Sample Complexity Reduction via Policy Difference Estimation in Tabular Reinforcement Learning

Adhyyan Narang, Andrew Wagenmaker, Lillian Ratliff +1

In this paper, we study the non-asymptotic sample complexity for the pure exploration problem in contextual bandits and tabular reinforcement learning (RL): identifying an epsilon-…

Nearly Minimax Optimal Submodular Maximization with Bandit Feedback

Artin Tajdini, Lalit Jain, Kevin Jamieson

We consider maximizing an unknown monotonic, submodular set function with cardinality constraint under stochastic bandit feedback. At each time $t=1,…
