A Study of Plasticity Loss in On-Policy Deep Reinforcement Learning

Neural Information Processing Systems

We demonstrate that plasticity loss is pervasive under domain shift in this regime, and that a number of methods developed to resolve it in other settings fail, sometimes even performing worse than applying no intervention at all. In contrast, we find that a class of "regenerative" methods are able to consistently mitigate plasticity loss in a variety of contexts, including in gridworld tasks and



Improved Particle Approximation Error for Mean Field Neural Networks

Neural Information Processing Systems

Recent works (Chen et al., 2022; Suzuki et al., 2023b) have demonstrated In this work, we improve the dependence on logarithmic Sobolev inequality (LSI) constants in their particle approximation errors which can exponentially deteriorate with the regularization coefficient. One may consider adding Gaussian noise to the gradient descent to make the method more stable.


SAFE TrainedModels

Neural Information Processing Systems

After calibrating in the first session, the slow efficient tuning parameters can capture more informativefeatures, improving generalization to incoming classes. Moreover, to further incorporate novel concepts, we strikeabalance between stability and plasticity byfixing slowefficient tuning parameters and continuously updating the fast ones. Specifically, a cross-classification loss with feature alignment is proposed to circumvent catastrophic forgetting.
