Adaptive Step-size Policy Gradients with Average Reward Metric
In this paper, we propose a novel adaptive step-size approach for policy gradient reinforcement learning. A new metric is defined for policy gradients that measures the effect of ...

Signal-to-Noise Ratio Analysis of Policy Gradient Algorithms
Policy gradient (PG) reinforcement learning algorithms have strong (local) convergence guarantees, but their learning performance is typically limited by a large variance in the e...

Derivatives of Logarithmic Stationary Distributions for Policy Gradient Reinforcement Learning
Most conventional Policy Gradient Reinforcement Learning (PGRL) algorithms neglect (or do not explicitly make use of) a term in the average reward gradient with respect to the pol...
