Researchers have theoretically demonstrated that a two-layer, attention-only Transformer can implement a form of Q-learning, a reinforcement learning algorithm. This implementation approximates greedy action selection, with the approximation level controlled by a temperature parameter. Experiments showed that the predicted parameter structure emerged during training on randomly generated Markov decision process tasks, achieving performance comparable to traditional Q-learning on unseen tasks.
