Researchers have introduced PAMD, a novel Pairwise Adaptive Mahalanobis Distance method designed to improve visual reinforcement learning algorithms. This new approach parameterizes a positive-definite, pair-conditioned metric for measuring latent state similarity, offering a more expressive and structured alternative to fixed global norms. Empirical validation on visual MuJoCo continuous-control tasks demonstrated substantial performance improvements in several bisimulation-based RL algorithms when equipped with PAMD. AI
