New D2AC algorithm trains diffusion policies effectively

Researchers have developed a new reinforcement learning algorithm called D2 Actor Critic (D2AC) designed to train diffusion policies more effectively. This algorithm utilizes a stable policy improvement objective that avoids high variance and the complexity of backpropagation through time. A key component is a robust distributional critic, which combines distributional RL with clipped double Q-learning, leading to state-of-the-art performance on eighteen challenging RL tasks. AI

    D2 Actor Critic: Diffusion Actor Meets Distributional Critic

    arXiv:2510.03508v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We introduce D2AC, a new model-free reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm designed to train expressive diffusion policies online effectively. At its core is a policy improvement objective that avoids the high variance of typical…
