New Pareto Q-Learning algorithm enhances multi-objective reinforcement learning

Researchers have introduced Pareto Q-Learning with Reward Machines (PQLRM), a novel multi-objective reinforcement learning algorithm designed for tasks with complex reward structures defined by reward machines. This algorithm integrates Pareto Q-Learning, which handles vector-valued Q-estimates for Pareto front approximation, with enhancements from Q-Learning with Reward Machines that leverage the automaton structure of reward signals. PQLRM aims to achieve sample efficiency in non-Markovian, reward machine-encoded environments and has demonstrated faster convergence and the ability to synthesize Pareto-optimal policies that other methods cannot.
