Model-Free, Regret-Optimal Best Policy Identification in Online CMDPs

no code implementations27 Sep 2023 Zihan Zhou, Honghao Wei, Lei Ying

PRI achieves trio objectives: (i) PRI is a model-free algorithm; and (ii) it outputs an approximately optimal policy with a high probability at the end of learning; and (iii) PRI guarantees $\tilde{\mathcal{O}}(H\sqrt{K})$ regret and constraint violation, which significantly improves the best existing regret bound $\tilde{\mathcal{O}}(H^4 \sqrt{SA}K^{\frac{4}{5}})$ under a model-free algorithm, where $H$ is the length of each episode, $S$ is the number of states, $A$ is the number of actions, and the total number of episodes during learning is $2K+\tilde{\cal O}(K^{0. 25}).$ We further present a matching lower via an example that shows under any online learning algorithm, there exists a well-separated CMDP instance such that either the regret or violation has to be $\Omega(H\sqrt{K}),$ which matches the upper bound by a polylogarithmic factor.
