New V-SHARE algorithm offers provable convergence for reinforcement learning

Researchers have introduced V-SHARE, a novel advantage-based value-learning algorithm for reinforcement learning that enhances information sharing across actions. This method decomposes the action-value function into state-dependent values and action-specific advantages, building upon the effectiveness of existing techniques like Q-learning. V-SHARE provides the first comprehensive theoretical characterization of such algorithms, offering both asymptotic convergence and finite-sample guarantees, and addresses the challenge of rare actions in asynchronous Q-learning.
