New TD(0) algorithm achieves robust and fast convergence with single stepsize

Researchers have developed a new method for linear TD(0) algorithms that uses a single stepsize schedule, eliminating the need for prior knowledge of curvature parameters. This approach provides high-probability guarantees for the algorithm's stability and convergence. The new stepsize schedule achieves both robust, curvature-free rates and fast, curvature-dependent rates simultaneously, offering a more efficient and stable solution for learning in Markovian environments. AI
