Developed a policy-improvement surrogate and practical constrained-update approximation for optimizing large nonlinear policies.
Scientific scope
Developed a policy-improvement surrogate and practical constrained-update approximation for optimizing large nonlinear policies. The theoretical guarantee applies to the specified surrogate scheme; practical TRPO makes approximations. Empirical monotonic behavior is not a universal guarantee and is distinct from later PPO.
Evidence
The linked original sources describe the stated contribution and its evidence limits. WRS has not independently rerun the experiments or certified a proof.
