Researchers have identified algorithmic pathologies in multi-timescale reinforcement learning when combining short-term and long-term signals. They propose a Target Decoupling architecture that separates temporal predictions in the critic from policy updates in the actor. This approach reportedly achieves superior performance in delayed-reward environments by preventing issues like surrogate objective hacking and myopic degeneration. AI
