📰 ArXiv cs.AI

Learning the minimum action distance (MAD) in Markov decision processes (MDPs) from state trajectories without reward signals or actions

advanced Published 25 Mar 2026
Action Steps
  1. Learn the minimum action distance (MAD) from state trajectories
  2. Use MAD as a metric to capture the underlying structure of an environment
  3. Apply the learned state representation to improve decision-making in MDPs
  4. Evaluate the effectiveness of the MAD framework in various environments
Who Needs to Know This

This research benefits AI engineers and ML researchers working on reinforcement learning and MDPs, as it provides a new framework for learning state representations
