Policy mirror ascent achieves Nash equilibrium in mean field games without a population generative model.

problem Achieving Nash equilibrium in mean field games without a population generative model.
method Policy mirror ascent, contractive operator, single-path TD learning.
result Policy mirror ascent converges to Nash equilibrium within O~(ε2)\widetilde{\mathcal{O}}(\varepsilon^{-2}) samples.

A new framework improves reinforcement learning algorithms with policy guarantees.

problem Designing efficient and stable reinforcement learning algorithms.
method A general framework (FMA-PG) based on functional mirror ascent that constructs surrogate functions enabling policy improvement guarantees.
result The proposed framework enables policy improvement guarantees that hold regardless of policy parameterization, and recovers important heuristics.

We present a new algorithm based on an gradient ascent for a general Active Exploration bandit problem in the fixed confidence setting. This problem encompasses several well studied problems such that the Best Arm Identification or Thresholding Bandits. It consists of a new sampling rule based on an online lazy mirror …
