New RL framework tackles stochastic control problems with unknown parameters

This paper introduces a new reinforcement learning framework for solving complex stochastic control problems where key parameters like drift coefficients and running reward functions are unknown. The proposed algorithms aim to learn optimal value functions and feedback control policies, with theoretical grounding and demonstrated convergence. The research also explores specific cases involving control-dependent diffusion, requiring advanced probabilistic representations. AI

    Learning to Solve Stochastic Controls with Unknown Drifts and Running Rewards: Theory, Algorithms and Convergence

    arXiv:2609.14972v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study continuous-time and possibly high-dimensional stochastic control problems where drift coefficients and running reward functions are unknown. Due to these missing model primitives, we take the exploratory, reinforcement lear…
