Researchers have introduced a novel framework for zero-shot transfer in reinforcement learning, addressing the challenge of online reward discovery. The proposed method utilizes Behavioral Foundation Models (BFMs) to generate exploration policies, framing the online learning problem as a bandit-like exploration-exploitation task. This approach allows agents to learn optimal policies by interacting with the environment and observing rewards, moving beyond the limitations of offline transfer methods that require pre-existing state-reward datasets. The paper derives a formulation inspired by Upper Confidence Bound for linear reward approximation, suggesting that exploration can be achieved by minimizing eigenvalues of an uncertainty matrix. AI
