Distributions as Actions: A Unified Framework for Diverse Action Spaces
π€AI Summary
Researchers introduce a new reinforcement learning framework called Distributions-as-Actions (DA) that treats parameterized action distributions as actions, making all action spaces continuous regardless of original type. The approach includes a new policy gradient estimator (DA-PG) with lower variance and a practical actor-critic algorithm (DA-AC) that shows competitive performance across discrete, continuous, and hybrid control tasks.
Key Takeaways
- βNew RL framework redefines the boundary between agent and environment by treating action distributions as actions themselves
- βDA-PG gradient estimator achieves lower variance compared to traditional methods in original action spaces
- βInterpolated Critic Learning (ICL) strategy addresses challenges in learning critics over distribution parameters
- βDA-AC algorithm built on TD3 demonstrates competitive performance across diverse control settings
- βFramework unifies handling of discrete, continuous, and hybrid action spaces under a single continuous paradigm
