New Tangle-Core Abstraction Improves Reinforcement Learning

Researchers have developed a new method for state abstraction in Markov Decision Processes called tangle-core abstraction. This approach uses graph tangles to create overlapping abstract states, which is particularly useful for problems with interface states like doors or hubs that connect multiple regions. The framework provides guarantees for value preservation and demonstrates favorable compression-return tradeoffs compared to existing methods in various navigation and grid-based environments. AI

    Topology-Aware State Abstraction with Tangle Cores for Markov Decision Processes

    arXiv:2606.00427v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: State abstraction in reinforcement learning is usually formulated as a partition of states based on reward and transition similarity. This excludes a common structural pattern in navigation, graph, and hierarchical decision problems…
