abstract

We give an overview of recent exciting achievements of deep reinforcement learning (RL). We discuss six core elements, six important mechanisms, and twelve applications. We start with background of machine learning, deep learning and reinforcement learning. Next we discuss core RL elements, including value function, in particular, Deep Q-Network (DQN), policy, reward, model, planning, and exploration. After that, we discuss important mechanisms for RL, including attention and memory, unsupervised learning, transfer learning, multi-agent RL, hierarchical RL, and learning to learn. Then we discuss various applications of RL, including games, in particular, AlphaGo, robotics, natural language processing, including dialogue systems, machine translation, and text generation, computer vision, neural architecture design, business management, finance, healthcare, Industry 4.0, smart grid, intelligent transportation systems, and computer systems. We mention topics not reviewed yet, and list a collection of RL resources. After presenting a brief summary, we close with discussions. Please see Deep Reinforcement Learning, arXiv:1810.06339, for a significant update.

Exploring the Secondary Risks of Large Language Models

cs.LG · 2025-06-14 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Introduces secondary risks as a new class of LLM failures from benign prompts, defines two primitives, proposes SecLens search framework, and releases SecRiskBench showing risks are widespread across 16 models.

A Survey on Vision-Language-Action Models for Embodied AI

cs.RO · 2024-05-23 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

This is the first survey on vision-language-action models, providing a taxonomy across three lines, plus summaries of datasets, simulators, benchmarks, challenges, and future directions in embodied AI.

An Inductive Synthesis Framework for Verifiable Reinforcement Learning

cs.LG · 2019-07-16 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

The paper introduces an inductive synthesis framework that generates verifiable deterministic program approximations of neural RL policies, preserving safety invariants via counterexample-guided search over state transition systems.

Why Does Agentic Safety Fail to Generalize Across Tasks?

cs.LG · 2026-05-07 · conditional · novelty 6.0

Agentic safety fails to generalize across tasks because the task-to-safe-controller mapping has a higher Lipschitz constant than the task-to-controller mapping alone, as proven in linear-quadratic control and demonstrated in quadcopter and LLM experiments.
