What changed
Fitted an upper expectile of action values conditional on state, backed it into a Q-function while averaging transition noise, and extracted a policy by advantage-weighted regression.
Scientific scope
Fitted an upper expectile of action values conditional on state, backed it into a Q-function while averaging transition noise, and extracted a policy by advantage-weighted regression. Expectiles over data-supported actions are not return quantiles. Avoiding unseen actions in the training losses does not certify the deployed policy stays in support or improves for every dataset; near-maximal limits and finite nonlinear approximation are separate.
Evidence
The linked original sources describe the stated contribution and its evidence limits. WRS has not independently rerun the experiments or certified a proof. Expectiles over data-supported actions are not return quantiles. Avoiding unseen actions in the training losses does not certify the deployed policy stays in support or improves for every dataset; near-maximal limits and finite nonlinear approximation are separate.
