Reinforcement Learning Foundation Models Should Already Be A Thing

Researchers propose that reinforcement learning foundation models should be developed using synthetic MDPs (Markov Decision Processes) as training data, similar to how TabPFN uses synthetic data for tabular prediction. A Graph Attention Network trained entirely on synthetic MDPs demonstrates strong performance on both online and offline RL benchmarks without task-specific tuning, suggesting this approach is viable.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of Markov Boundary for Tabular Prediction

A comprehensive study of Markov boundaries in tabular prediction reveals that while oracle boundaries significantly improve model performance, practical causal discovery methods fail to recover them cost-effectively. The research identifies fundamental misalignments between structural recovery optimization and predictive performance, suggesting that prediction-focused feature selection requires different approaches than theoretical assumptions propose.
