Bridging the Performance Gap Between Target-Free and Target-Based Reinforcement Learning

Researchers introduce iterated Shared Q-Learning (iS-QL), a new reinforcement learning method that bridges target-free and target-based approaches by using only the last linear layer as a target network while sharing other parameters. The technique achieves comparable performance to traditional target-based methods while maintaining the memory efficiency of target-free approaches.
