Provable diffusion-based posterior sampling for linear inverse problems via DDIM
Yuchen Jiao, Na Li, Changxiao Cai +2
Diffusion-based methods have achieved remarkable empirical success in solving inverse problems. However, many existing posterior samplers either lack rigorous theoretical guarantee…
Settling the Sample Complexity of Online Reinforcement Learning
Zihan Zhang, Yuxin Chen, Jason D. Lee +1
A central issue lying at the heart of online reinforcement learning (RL) is data efficiency. While a number of recent works achieved asymptotically minimal regret in online RL, the…
Reward-agnostic Fine-tuning: Provable Statistical Benefits of Hybrid Reinforcement Learning
Gen Li, Wenhao Zhan, Jason D. Lee +2
This paper studies tabular reinforcement learning (RL) in the hybrid setting, which assumes access to both an offline dataset and online interactions with the unknown environment.…
The Curious Price of Distributional Robustness in Reinforcement Learning with a Generative Model
Laixi Shi, Gen Li, Yuting Wei +3
This paper investigates model robustness in reinforcement learning (RL) to reduce the sim-to-real gap in practice. We adopt the framework of distributionally robust Markov decision…
Minimax-Optimal Reward-Agnostic Exploration in Reinforcement Learning
Gen Li, Yuling Yan, Yuxin Chen +1
This paper studies reward-agnostic exploration in reinforcement learning (RL) -- a scenario where the learner is unware of the reward functions during the exploration stage -- and…
The Efficacy of Pessimism in Asynchronous Q-Learning
Yuling Yan, Gen Li, Yuxin Chen +1
This paper is concerned with the asynchronous form of Q-learning, which applies a stochastic approximation scheme to Markovian data samples. Motivated by the recent advances in off…
