Reinforcement learning theory achieves new sample complexity for actor-critic methods

Researchers have established a new theoretical sample complexity guarantee for off-policy actor-critic methods in reinforcement learning. The paper proves the first $\tilde{\mathcal{O}}(\epsilon^{-2})$ sample complexity for finding an $\epsilon$-optimal policy under minimal assumptions, specifically requiring only an irreducible Markov chain. This achievement contrasts with prior work that necessitated nested-loop updates or stronger, algorithm-dependent policy assumptions. AI

    Achieving $ε^{-2}$ Sample Complexity for Single-Loop Actor-Critic under Minimal Assumptions

    In this paper, we establish last-iterate convergence rates for off-policy actor--critic methods in reinforcement learning. In particular, under a single-loop, single-timescale implementation and a broad class of policy updates, including approximate policy iteration and natural p…
