Asymptotic and Finite Sample Analysis of Nonexpansive Stochastic Approximations with Markovian Noise

AAAI 2026technical

Stochastic approximation is a powerful class of algorithms with celebrated success. However, a large body of previous analysis focuses on stochastic approximations driven by contractive operators, which is not applicable in some important reinforcement learning settings like the average reward setti

Transformers Can Learn Temporal Difference Methods for In-Context Reinforcement Learning

ICLR 2025poster

Traditionally, reinforcement learning (RL) agents learn to solve new tasks by updating their neural network parameters through interactions with the task environment. However, recent works demonstrate that some RL agents, after certain pretraining procedures, can learn to solve unseen new tasks with…
