New actor-critic algorithm optimizes dynamic risk management

Researchers have developed a new actor-critic algorithm designed to optimize dynamic risk management in stochastic policies. This novel approach bypasses the need for transition perturbation in policy updates and utilizes model-free value learning for dynamic expectile and conditional value-at-risk. The algorithm has demonstrated superior performance in learning risk-averse policies through empirical testing in domains exhibiting verifiable risk-averse behavior. AI

IMPACT Introduces a new algorithmic approach for optimizing risk-averse policies in machine learning applications.

    Actor-Critic Algorithm for Dynamic Expectile and CVaR

    Optimizing dynamic risk with stochastic policies is challenging in both policy updates and value learning. The former typically requires transition perturbation, while the latter may rely on model-based approaches. To address these challenges, we propose a surrogate policy gradie…
