Automatic feature identification in least-squares policy iteration using the Koopman operator framework

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2603.26464v1 Announce Type: new In this paper, we present a Koopman autoencoder-based least-squares policy iteration (KAE-LSPI) algorithm in reinforcement learning (RL). The KAE-LSPI algorithm is based on reformulating the so-called least-squares fixed-point approximation method in terms of extended dynamic mode decomposition (EDMD), thereby enabling automatic feature learning via the Koopman autoencoder (KAE) framework. The approach is motivated by the lack of a systematic choice of features or kernels in linear RL techniques.
