Researchers have developed a new technique called Mode-Dependent Rectification (MDR) to stabilize Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) training in reinforcement learning. This method addresses issues caused by mode-dependent architectural components, such as batch normalization, which can lead to policy mismatch and reward collapse during training. MDR employs a dual-phase training procedure that enhances stability and performance without requiring changes to the underlying architecture, showing promising results in various gaming and real-world tasks.
