Is Unchecked Churn Holding Back Your AI Performance? This AI Paper Unveils CHAIN: Improving Deep Reinforcement Learning by Reducing the Chain Effect of Value and Policy Churn

Practical Solutions for Deep Reinforcement Learning Instability Addressing the Challenge Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) faces challenges due to instability caused by churn during training. This can affect the performance of RL applications like autonomous driving and healthcare. Introducing CHAIN Method The CHAIN method reduces churn in DRL by adding regularization losses during training to control unpredictable changes in network outputs. This improves stability and efficiency in various RL environments. CHAIN is easy to integrate into existing DRL algorithms with minimal changes, making it a versatile solution for enhancing learning dynamics. Key Features of CHAIN CHAIN introduces two main regularization terms, value churn reduction loss (L_QC) and policy churn reduction loss (L_PC), to minimize unwanted changes in network outputs. By comparing current and previous outputs, this method enhances stability and sample efficiency in learning environments.
