Abstracts

Distributional Reinforcement Learning – Björn Lindenberg
Distributional Reinforcement Learning (DRL) represents a recent and successful paradigm shift in reinforcement learning, especially for algorithms based on deep learning. Instead of estimating only expected returns, DRL agents learn the full distribution of possible outcomes — offering a richer representation and greater flexibility for algorithm design. This approach has led to improved empirical performance in complex environments and enables new capabilities, such as risk-sensitive behavior. The talk will serve as an introduction to the subject, presenting the theory and possible applications in an accessible way.
