Reinforcement learning (RL) policies represented in Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces (RKHS) offer powerful representational capabilities. While second-order optimization methods like Newton's method demonstrate faster convergence than first-order approaches, current RKHS-based policy optimization r…
Recent advances in vision-language-action (VLA) models have motivated the extension of their capabilities to embodied settings, where reinforcement learning (RL) offers a principled way to optimize task success through interaction. However, existing methods remain fragmented, lacking both a unified …
Training expressive flow-based policies with off-policy reinforcement learning is notoriously unstable due to gradient pathologies in the multi-step action sampling process. We trace this instability to a fundamental connection: the flow rollout is algebraically equivalent to a residual recurrent co…
Offline reinforcement learning faces a critical challenge in synthesizing high-reward trajectories from suboptimal datasets while robustly handling the stochasticity inherent in real-world decision-making. While combination of return-conditioned sequence models, such as Decision Transformers (DT), a
Achieving optimal performance in reinforcement learning requires robust policies supported by training processes that ensure both sample efficiency and stability. Modeling the policy in reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) enables efficient exploration of local optimal solutions. However, the sta…
