Randomized Least Squares Value Iteration itself is Joint Differentially Private

Haiyang Lu, Pratik Gajane, Shaojie Bai +1

As reinforcement learning (RL) increasingly applies to sensitive domains, such as health care and recommendation systems, privacy-preserving techniques have become essential to pro…

On the Sample Complexity of Discounted Reinforcement Learning with Optimized Certainty Equivalents

Oliver Mortensen, Mohammad Sadegh Talebi

We study risk-sensitive reinforcement learning in finite discounted MDPs, where a generative model of the MDP is assumed to be available. We consider a family or risk measures call…

Recursive Entropic Risk Optimization in Discounted MDPs: Sample Complexity Bounds with a Generative Model

Oliver Mortensen, Mohammad Sadegh Talebi

We study risk-sensitive reinforcement learning in finite discounted MDPs with recursive entropic risk measures (ERM), where the risk parameter controls the agent's risk…

Near-Optimal Reinforcement Learning with Shuffle Differential Privacy

Shaojie Bai, Mohammad Sadegh Talebi, Chengcheng Zhao +2

Reinforcement learning (RL) is a powerful tool for sequential decision-making, but its application is often hindered by privacy concerns arising from its interaction data. This cha…

Provably Efficient Exploration in Reward Machines with Low Regret

Hippolyte Bourel, Anders Jonsson, Odalric-Ambrym Maillard +2

We study reinforcement learning (RL) for decision processes with non-Markovian reward, in which high-level knowledge of the task in the form of reward machines is available to the…
