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...

TD(0) Converges Provably Faster than the Residual Gradient Algorithm
In Reinforcement Learning (RL) there has been some experimental evidence that the residual gradient algorithm converges slower than the TD(0) algorithm. In this paper, we use the ...

Exploiting locality of interactions using a policy-gradient approach in multiagent learning
In this paper, we propose a policy gradient reinforcement learning algorithm to address transition-independent Dec-POMDPs. This approach aims at implicitly exploiting the locality...

Variance Reduction Techniques for Gradient Estimates in Reinforcement Learning
Policy gradient methods for reinforcement learning avoid some of the undesirable properties of the value function approaches, such as policy degradation (Baxter and Bartlett, 2001...

Incremental Natural Actor-Critic Algorithms
We present four new reinforcement learning algorithms based on actor-critic and natural-gradient ideas, and provide their convergence proofs. Actor-critic reinforcement learning m...
