The proposed RichCLD (Rich-Observation RL with Continuous Latent Dynamics) framework addresses the challenges of sample-efficiency and reliability in reinforcement learning algorithms for continuous settings with high-dimensional perceptual inputs. A new algorithm is introduced, which is provably statistically and computatorily efficient. The core of this algorithm is a novel representation learning objective that is amenable to practical implementation. This approach compares favorably to prior schemes in a standard evaluation protocol. Furthermore, the statistical complexity of the RichCLD framework is analyzed, revealing that certain notions of Lipschitzness are insufficient in the rich-observation setting.

Reinforcement learning algorithms can learn from experience and make decisions based on their observations. However, these algorithms often struggle when they have to handle a lot of data or make decisions quickly. To address this issue, researchers introduced a new framework called RichCLD that helps agents learn more efficiently in situations where they have to deal with many different inputs. This framework is useful for applications like robotics, autonomous vehicles, and control systems.
