New research explores trade-offs in partially observable reinforcement learning

A new paper introduces the perturbed Block MDP, a theoretical model designed to analyze the trade-offs in partially observable reinforcement learning. The research investigates the effectiveness of privileged expert distillation, a technique that uses latent state information during training, compared to standard reinforcement learning methods. Key findings indicate that the stochasticity of latent dynamics significantly impacts the performance of distillation and that the optimal latent policy is not always the best one to distill, offering new guidelines for leveraging privileged information in policy learning.
