Researchers have introduced "excursion policies" as a novel approach to off-policy reinforcement learning. This method involves an agent following a target policy for a set number of steps before returning to a behavior policy. The study provides theoretical underpinnings for these policies through dynamic programming results and develops corresponding temporal-difference algorithms. Excursion policies demonstrate a trade-off between efficiency and stability, performing comparably to mixture policies on continuous control benchmarks. AI
