Researchers have developed a novel approach called PolicyAttention, which uses causal softmax attention within transformers to implement policy mirror descent for closed-loop control. This method aims to improve the efficiency and accuracy of reinforcement learning agents by enabling them to learn from a fixed set of transitions. Empirical tests show that PolicyAttention, particularly with an exact one-step critic, performs comparably to or better than theoretical or adapted methods in repeated control tasks, though challenges remain in direct comparisons with on-policy methods at higher step counts.
