New algorithm MFRLC offers provably efficient representation learning for CMDPs

Researchers have developed a new model-free algorithm called MFRLC for learning representations in low-rank Constrained Markov Decision Processes (CMDPs). This algorithm aims to maximize expected cumulative rewards while adhering to constraints on cumulative utility. MFRLC uniquely combines Least-Squares Value Iteration with Upper Confidence Bound (LSVI-UCB) and primal-dual techniques, and it achieves sublinear regret and violation guarantees, independent of state space size.

    Provably Efficient Representation Learning for Low-Rank CMDPs

    arXiv:2611.07295v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study representation learning in low-rank Constrained Markov Decision Processes (CMDPs), where both value and reward functions are approximated by a set of unknown representation vectors, and the transition dynamics admit a low-r…
