Title: Forager: a lightweight testbed for continual learning with partial observability in RL

Abstract:
arXiv:2605.01131v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In continual reinforcement learning (CRL), good performance requires never-ending learning, acting, and exploration in a big, partially observable world. Most CRL experiments have focused on loss of plasticity -- the inability to keep learning -- in one-off experiments where some unobservable non-stationarity is added to classic fully observable MDPs. Further, these experiments rarely consider the role of partial observability and the importance
