FlashSAC: Fast and Stable Off-Policy Reinforcement Learning for High-Dimensional Robot Control

RSS 2026poster

Simulation-based reinforcement learning (RL) is central for robotic control when expert demonstrations are unavailable. However, scaling RL to high-dimensional robots remains challenging. On-policy methods such as PPO are reliable but require large amounts of simulation because they discard past dat…

XQC: Well-conditioned Optimization Accelerates Deep Reinforcement Learning

ICLR 2026poster

Sample efficiency is a central property of effective deep reinforcement learning algorithms. Recent work has improved this through added complexity, such as larger models, exotic network architectures, and more complex algorithms, which are typically motivated purely by empirical performance. We tak…

Mitigating Information Loss in Tree-Based Reinforcement Learning via Direct Optimization

ICLR 2025spotlight

Reinforcement learning (RL) has seen significant success across various domains, but its adoption is often limited by the black-box nature of neural network policies, making them difficult to interpret. In contrast, symbolic policies allow representing decision-making strategies in a compact and int…

Scaling Off-Policy Reinforcement Learning with Batch and Weight Normalization

NeurIPS 2025poster

Reinforcement learning has achieved significant milestones, but sample efficiency remains a bottleneck for real-world applications. Recently, CrossQ has demonstrated state-of-the-art sample efficiency with a low update-to-data (UTD) ratio of 1. In this work, we explore CrossQ's scaling behavior with…
