What changed
Conditioned a neural value model on sampled quantile fractions to approximate return quantile functions, supporting distributional learning and distorted-quantile risk-sensitive action evaluation.
Scientific scope
Conditioned a neural value model on sampled quantile fractions to approximate return quantile functions, supporting distributional learning and distorted-quantile risk-sensitive action evaluation. Extends QR-DQN rather than inventing distributional RL or quantile regression. Finite-capacity stochastic quantile sampling is not exact representation of arbitrary return laws; risk-distortion experiments do not establish universally optimal risk-sensitive control or neural convergence.
Evidence
The linked original sources describe the stated contribution and its evidence limits. WRS has not independently rerun the experiments or certified a proof.
