    Fisher-Rao Gradient Flows of Linear Programs and State-Action Natural Policy Gradients

    arXiv:2403.19448v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Kakade's natural policy gradient method has been studied extensively in recent years, showing linear convergence with and without regularization. We study another natural gradient method based on the Fisher information mat…
