Title: Intentional Updates for Streaming Reinforcement Learning

Abstract:
arXiv:2604.19033v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In gradient-based learning, a step size chosen in parameter units does not produce a predictable per-step change in function output. This often leads to instability in the streaming setting (i.e., batch size=1), where stochasticity is not averaged out and update magnitudes can momentarily become arbitrarily big or small. Instead, we propose intentional updates: first specify the intended outcome of an update and then solve for the step size that
