New arXiv Paper Proposes Softmax-Based Method for Inferring Optimal RL Values Offline
A research paper on arXiv examines offline inference of the optimal value function in reinforcement learning. The authors derive new nuisance quantities as fixed points of a self-induced Bellman equation, approximating the maximum Bellman operator with its softmax counterpart. The work contributes theoretical tools for estimating optimal values from offline data.
