D4PG: distributed deterministic actors with a distributional critic

What is recorded here?

Combined deterministic policy gradients with a distributional critic, distributed experience collection, multi-step targets and prioritized replay for continuous-control learning.

Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.

Scientific scope

A synthesis extending DDPG and distributional RL, not invention of their components. Reported robustness and benchmark gains are empirical, not general continuous-control optimality or safety.
