Noise as a Natural Regularizer in Markov Decision Processes: Connecting Environmental Stochasticity and Policy Simplicity
ICML 2026poster
The planning horizon in a Markov Decision Process (MDP) determines how far into the future an agent reasons. In practice, shorter horizons are commonly associated with policies that exhibit simpler or more interpretable decision-making behavior. In this paper, we establish a formal connection betwee…
