Policy Zooming: Adaptive Discretization-based Infinite-Horizon Average-Reward Reinforcement Learning

AAAI 2026technical

We study infinite-horizon average-reward reinforcement learning for continuous space Lipschitz Markov decision processes (MDPs) in which an agent can play policies from a given set Φ. The proposed algorithms efficiently explore the policy space by “zooming” into the “promising regions” of Φ, thereby

Finite Time Logarithmic Regret Bounds for Self-Tuning Regulation

ICML 2024poster

We establish the first finite-time logarithmic regret bounds for the self-tuning regulation problem. We introduce a modified version of the certainty equivalence algorithm, which we call PIECE, that clips inputs in addition to utilizing probing inputs for exploration. We show that it has a $C \log T…
