Knowledge- and Gradient-Guided Reinforcement Learning for Parametrized Action Markov Decision Processes

In this paper, we study Reinforcement Learning in Parametrized Action Markov Decision Processes (PAMDP), where each decision consists of a symbolic action and numerical parameters. In such settings Reinforcement Learning algorithms typically determine parameters with one-shot estimators, which makes their training sample inefficient. Though in most PAMDP environments explicit but incomplete knowledge (e.g., rules, safety constraints, or expert heuristics) is available, it is rarely directly used to increase the sample-efficiency of training Reinforcement Learning agents. We step into this gap...

LatentFlow: A General Framework for Conditioning Stochastic Processes

Stochastic-process models are, as a rule, far easier to simulate than to condition. Non-linear observations, non-Gaussian likelihoods, black-box information, and global constraints all induce intractable conditional laws, requiring bespoke, model-specific constructions. We introduce LatentFlow, a single framework for conditioning stochastic processes, with no learned neural approximations and no training. Our starting point is to write the stochastic process as the deterministic image of a tractable latent innovation, $f_0 = T_{\vartheta}(ξ_0)$, with $ξ_0$ sampled from a simple reference dist...
