Success Conditioning as Policy Improvement: The Optimization Problem Solved by Imitating Success
Researchers have theoretically analyzed the success conditioning technique, commonly used in AI policy improvement. They proved that this method precisely solves a trust-region optimization problem, imposing a constraint on policy changes based on collected data. This work establishes an identity linking policy improvement, the magnitude of policy change, and the influence of actions on success rates. AI
