Paper introduces adversarial training for robust RL policies

This paper, titled "Adversarial Latent-State Training for Robust Policies in Partially Observable Domains," introduces a new framework for reinforcement learning in partially observable environments. The authors propose an adversarial approach where an adversary sets the initial latent distribution, and they prove a latent minimax principle to characterize worst-case scenarios. Empirically, their method, tested on a Battleship benchmark, significantly reduced robustness gaps between different distribution strategies, showing improved performance with targeted exposure to shifted latent states.

    Adversarial Latent-State Training for Robust Policies in Partially Observable Domains

    arXiv:2603.07313v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Robustness under latent distribution shift remains challenging in partially observable reinforcement learning. We formalize a focused setting where an adversary selects a hidden initial latent distribution before the episo…
