In this paper, researchers explore alternative methods for learning stochastic policies in reinforcement learning. The standard approach uses neural networks (NNs) optimized through policy gradient (PG) algorithms. However, PG methods can be inefficient due to large policy updates. To address this, the authors introduce low-rank matrix-based models that estimate TRPO algorithm parameters more efficiently. By reducing dimensionality and leveraging matrix-completion techniques, these models demonstrate improved computational and sample complexities while maintaining aggregated rewards.

This paper is about finding a better way to learn how things should be done in complex situations. Right now, most methods use neural networks to figure out the best action to take based on what’s happening. But this can be slow and not very efficient. The authors came up with a new idea: using low-rank matrices to make it faster and more accurate. They tested their idea and found that it works really well – it takes less time and uses fewer data points, but still gives good results.
