"Reinforcement learning is learning what to do – how to map situations to actions – so as to maximize a numerical reward signal. The learner is not told which actions to take, as in most forms of machine learning, but instead must discover which actions yield the most reward by trying them." – Sutton, Richard S. and Andrew G. Barto. Reinforcement Learning: An Introduction. (1.1). MIT Press, Cambridge, MA, 1998.
In the classical decision-making literature, this is achieved by two interweaving processes, policyevaluation and policyimprovement (Sutton and Barto,2018).
Specifically, we integrate two essential sub-tasks, i.e., traffic data imputation and decision-making, by leveraging a Partial Rewards Conditioned Diffusion (PRCD) model to prevent missing rewards
Multi-task offline reinforcement learning aims to develop a unified policy for diverse tasks without requiring real-time interaction with the environment.
We further propose a federated natural actor critic (NAC) method for multi-task RL with function approximation and stochastic policy evaluation, and establish its finite-time sample complexity taking the errors of function approximation into account.
