New algorithms yield data- and variance-dependent regret bounds for MDPs

Researchers have developed new algorithms for online tabular Markov decision processes (MDPs) that offer improved regret bounds. These algorithms adapt to data-dependent measures in adversarial settings and variance-dependent measures in stochastic settings. The work introduces novel complexity measures and optimistic optimization techniques, achieving near-optimal regret bounds. AI

    Data- and Variance-dependent Regret Bounds for Online Tabular MDPs

    arXiv:2602.01903v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This work studies online episodic tabular Markov decision processes (MDPs) with known transitions and develops best-of-both-worlds algorithms that achieve refined data-dependent regret bounds in the adversarial regime and …
