Behavior-Consistent Deep Reinforcement Learning
Marcel Hussing, Liv G. d'Aliberti, Claas Voelcker +2
Reinforcement learning (RL) often exhibits high variance across training runs, leading to unreliable performance and posing a major challenge to deployment in real-world domains. I…
Replicable Reinforcement Learning with Linear Function Approximation
Eric Eaton, Marcel Hussing, Michael Kearns +3
Replication of experimental results has been a challenge faced by many scientific disciplines, including the field of machine learning. Recent work on the theory of machine learnin…
Relative Entropy Pathwise Policy Optimization
Claas Voelcker, Axel Brunnbauer, Marcel Hussing +6
Score-function based methods for policy learning, such as REINFORCE and PPO, have delivered strong results in game-playing and robotics, yet their high variance often undermines tr…
Model Agreement via Anchoring
Eric Eaton, Surbhi Goel, Marcel Hussing +4
Numerous lines of aim to control -- the extent to which two machine learning models disagree in their predictions. We adopt a simple and standard noti…
MAD-TD: Model-Augmented Data stabilizes High Update Ratio RL
Claas A Voelcker, Marcel Hussing, Eric Eaton +2
Building deep reinforcement learning (RL) agents that find a good policy with few samples has proven notoriously challenging. To achieve sample efficiency, recent work has explored…
Intersectional Fairness in Reinforcement Learning with Large State and Constraint Spaces
Eric Eaton, Marcel Hussing, Michael Kearns +3
In traditional reinforcement learning (RL), the learner aims to solve a single objective optimization problem: find the policy that maximizes expected reward. However, in many real…
