Researchers have developed new methods for Fitted Q-Evaluation (FQE) and soft Fitted Q-Iteration (soft FQI) that do not require Bellman completeness, a condition often unmet with function approximation. The proposed techniques, stationary-weighted FQE and stationary-reweighted soft FQI, address instability issues by reweighting regression steps to align with the target policy's stationary distribution. These approaches aim to improve stability and reduce value error in off-policy evaluation for reinforcement learning. AI
