    Corruption-Tolerant Asynchronous Q-Learning with Near-Optimal Rates

    Researchers have developed a new variant of Q-learning designed to handle adversarially corrupted rewards in reinforcement learning settings. This novel algorithm is analyzed under asynchronous sampling conditions and provides finite-time robustness guarantees. The algorithm's performance matches existing bounds, with an additive term related to corrupted samples, and establishes a near-optimal information-theoretic lower bound. AI

    IMPACT Introduces a more robust reinforcement learning algorithm, potentially improving reliability in real-world applications where reward signals may be noisy or manipulated.

    On Gaussian approximation for entropy-regularized Q-learning with function approximation

    Researchers have developed a new method for approximating Gaussian distributions in entropy-regularized Q-learning with function approximation. The study establishes convergence rates for averaged iterates generated by asynchronous Q-learning, achieving a Gaussian approximation bound with a rate of order n^{-1/4}. This work combines linearization of the soft Bellman recursion with a Gaussian approximation for the leading martingale term, also deriving high-order moment bounds for the algorithm's final iterate.
