Stochastic Optimization Methods for Policy Evaluation in Reinforcement Learning

by Shaocong Ma and Yi Zhou

This monograph introduces various value-based approaches for solving the policy evaluation problem in the online reinforcement learning (RL) scenario, which aims to learn the value function associated with a specific policy under a single Markov decision process (MDP). Approaches vary depending on whether they are implemented in an on-policy or off-policy manner. In on-policy settings, where the evaluation of the policy is conducted using data generated...
