An Adiabatic Theorem for Policy Tracking with TD-learning

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We evaluate the ability of temporal difference learning to track the reward function of a policy as it changes over time. Our results apply a new adiabatic theorem that bounds the mixing time of time-inhomogeneous Markov chains. We derive finite-time bounds for tabular temporal difference learning and Q-learning when the policy used for training changes in time. To achieve this, we develop bounds for stochastic approximation under asynchronous adiabatic updates.
