Neural Information Processing Systems 

First provide a summary of the paper, and then address the following criteria: Quality, clarity, originality and significance. It presents a slight modification of the NAC algorithm, where the original algorithm is a special case which is called forgetful NAC. The authors show that forget full Nac and optimistic policy iteration are equivalent. The authors also present a non-optimality result for soft-greedy Gibbs distribution, I.e., the optimal solution is not a fixed point of the policy iteration algorithm. I liked the unified view on both type of algorithms.
