Recurrent Natural Policy Gradient for POMDPs
(2405.18221)Abstract
In this paper, we study a natural policy gradient method based on recurrent neural networks (RNNs) for partially-observable Markov decision processes, whereby RNNs are used for policy parameterization and policy evaluation to address curse of dimensionality in non-Markovian reinforcement learning. We present finite-time and finite-width analyses for both the critic (recurrent temporal difference learning), and correspondingly-operated recurrent natural policy gradient method in the near-initialization regime. Our analysis demonstrates the efficiency of RNNs for problems with short-term memory with explicit bounds on the required network widths and sample complexity, and points out the challenges in the case of long-term dependencies.
We're not able to analyze this paper right now due to high demand.
