New Relative Value Learning Framework Shows Promise in Reinforcement Learning

Researchers have introduced a new framework called Relative Value Learning (RV) for reinforcement learning. Unlike traditional methods that estimate absolute state values, RV directly learns value differences using an antisymmetric function. This approach has demonstrated competitive performance on the Atari benchmark when integrated with PPO, suggesting it's a viable alternative to absolute critics. AI

    Relative Value Learning

    arXiv:2607.21120v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In reinforcement learning, critics typically estimate absolute state values $V(s)$, estimating how good a particular situation is in isolation. However, it turns out that only differences in value are relevant for control. Motivat…
