Data- and Variance-dependent Regret Bounds for Online Tabular MDPs
Researchers have developed new algorithms for online tabular Markov decision processes (MDPs) that offer improved regret bounds. These algorithms adapt to data-dependent measures in adversarial settings and variance-dependent measures in stochastic settings. The work introduces novel complexity measures and optimistic optimization techniques, achieving near-optimal regret bounds. AI
