The idea is that our RL Agent not just learns a policy to follow or/and a value function (Q function) but also tries to model the environment it is in. This is done by learning the transition dynamics $p(s’|s,a)$ (also known as World Model) and a Reward function $\\hat{R}(s,a)$. Once we have our world… ## [RL Bite: Monotonic Policy Improvement and Deriving Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO)](https://n1o.github.io/posts/rl-bite-policy-improvement/) _2025-04-01 · Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Research_ Abstract Link to heading A while ago we looked into Policy Gradient and Reinforce. Policy gradient is versatile and under mild conditions it is guaranteed to converge to a local minimum (if we choose the correct policy and step size). This is already a huge step up when compared to Q Learning, which may just diverge. However, we may still want stronger guarantees like monotonic improvement at each… ## [RL Bite: Policy Gradient and Reinforce](https://n1o.github.io/posts/rl-bite-policy-gradient-and-reinforce/) _2025-03-08 · Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Research_ Abstract Link to heading Till now we have considered only learning the Value or Q function and estimating the policy from those. In the next few posts, we are going to look into directly learning the policy. Why directly learn the policy?

We can derive the Q function from the Value function, however we can also try to directly learn it.
