We study the model-based undiscounted reinforcement learning for partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs). The oracle we consider is the optimal policy of the POMDP with a known environment in terms of the average reward over an infinite horizon. We propose a learning algorithm for this problem, building on spectral method-of-moments estimations for hidden Markov models, the belief error control in POMDPs and upper-confidence-bound methods for online learning. We establish a regret bound of $O(T^{2/3}sqrt{log T})$ for the proposed learning algorithm where $T$ is the learning horizon. This is, to the best of our knowledge, the first algorithm achieving sublinear regret with respect to our oracle for learning general POMDPs.

Reinforcement learning (RL) with linear function approximation has received increasing attention recently. However, existing work has focused on obtaining $sqrt{T}$-type regret bound, where $T$ is the number of interactions with the MDP. In this pape
r, we show that logarithmic regret is attainable under two recently proposed linear MDP assumptions provided that there exists a positive sub-optimality gap for the optimal action-value function. More specifically, under the linear MDP assumption (Jin et al. 2019), the LSVI-UCB algorithm can achieve $tilde{O}(d^{3}H^5/text{gap}_{text{min}}cdot log(T))$ regret; and under the linear mixture MDP assumption (Ayoub et al. 2020), the UCRL-VTR algorithm can achieve $tilde{O}(d^{2}H^5/text{gap}_{text{min}}cdot log^3(T))$ regret, where $d$ is the dimension of feature mapping, $H$ is the length of episode, $text{gap}_{text{min}}$ is the minimal sub-optimality gap, and $tilde O$ hides all logarithmic terms except $log(T)$. To the best of our knowledge, these are the first logarithmic regret bounds for RL with linear function approximation. We also establish gap-dependent lower bounds for the two linear MDP models.
We study the reinforcement learning for finite-horizon episodic Markov decision processes with adversarial reward and full information feedback, where the unknown transition probability function is a linear function of a given feature mapping. We pro
pose an optimistic policy optimization algorithm with Bernstein bonus and show that it can achieve $tilde{O}(dHsqrt{T})$ regret, where $H$ is the length of the episode, $T$ is the number of interaction with the MDP and $d$ is the dimension of the feature mapping. Furthermore, we also prove a matching lower bound of $tilde{Omega}(dHsqrt{T})$ up to logarithmic factors. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first computationally efficient, nearly minimax optimal algorithm for adversarial Markov decision processes with linear function approximation.
Many real-world sequential decision making problems are partially observable by nature, and the environment model is typically unknown. Consequently, there is great need for reinforcement learning methods that can tackle such problems given only a st
ream of incomplete and noisy observations. In this paper, we propose deep variational reinforcement learning (DVRL), which introduces an inductive bias that allows an agent to learn a generative model of the environment and perform inference in that model to effectively aggregate the available information. We develop an n-step approximation to the evidence lower bound (ELBO), allowing the model to be trained jointly with the policy. This ensures that the latent state representation is suitable for the control task. In experiments on Mountain Hike and flickering Atari we show that our method outperforms previous approaches relying on recurrent neural networks to encode the past.
We study reinforcement learning in an infinite-horizon average-reward setting with linear function approximation, where the transition probability function of the underlying Markov Decision Process (MDP) admits a linear form over a feature mapping of
the current state, action, and next state. We propose a new algorithm UCRL2-VTR, which can be seen as an extension of the UCRL2 algorithm with linear function approximation. We show that UCRL2-VTR with Bernstein-type bonus can achieve a regret of $tilde{O}(dsqrt{DT})$, where $d$ is the dimension of the feature mapping, $T$ is the horizon, and $sqrt{D}$ is the diameter of the MDP. We also prove a matching lower bound $tilde{Omega}(dsqrt{DT})$, which suggests that the proposed UCRL2-VTR is minimax optimal up to logarithmic factors. To the best of our knowledge, our algorithm is the first nearly minimax optimal RL algorithm with function approximation in the infinite-horizon average-reward setting.
We analyse adversarial bandit convex optimisation with an adversary that is restricted to playing functions of the form $f_t(x) = g_t(langle x, thetarangle)$ for convex $g_t : mathbb R to mathbb R$ and unknown $theta in mathbb R^d$ that is homogeneou
s over time. We provide a short information-theoretic proof that the minimax regret is at most $O(d sqrt{n} log(n operatorname{diam}(mathcal K)))$ where $n$ is the number of interactions, $d$ the dimension and $operatorname{diam}(mathcal K)$ is the diameter of the constraint set.
