Title: Towards Batch-to-Streaming Deep Reinforcement Learning for Continuous Control

Abstract:
arXiv:2603.08588v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: State-of-the-art deep reinforcement learning (RL) methods have achieved remarkable performance in continuous control tasks, yet their computational complexity is often incompatible with the constraints of resource-limited hardware, due to their reliance on replay buffers, batch updates, and target networks. The emerging paradigm of streaming deep RL addresses this limitation through purely online updates, achieving strong empirical perfor
