Medium GrooveSquid.com (original content) Medium Difficulty Summary
A reinforcement learning (RL) paper explores the theoretical aspects of non-linear function approximation using kernel-based prediction. Building on previous work in tabular and linear Markov Decision Process structures, this approach naturally extends linear methods and explains neural-network-based models at their infinite width limit. However, performance guarantees for this case remain an open problem.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
Reinforcement learning has been successful in many areas. A new method uses kernel-based prediction to help explain how big neural networks work. This is important because we don’t fully understand how these networks make decisions. The research focuses on a problem where we need better guarantees about how well the approach works.
