Title: Target-Aligned Reinforcement Learning
Abstract:
arXiv:2603.29501v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Many reinforcement learning algorithms rely on target networks - lagged copies of the online network - to stabilize training. While effective, this mechanism introduces a fundamental stability-recency tradeoff: slower target updates improve stability but reduce the recency of learning signals, hindering convergence speed. We propose Target-Aligned Reinforcement Learning (TARL), a framework that emphasizes transitions for which the target and onli
