Continual Reinforcement Learning with Neuroevolution

Excerpt

arXiv:2610.01583v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Despite many studies about causes and remedies of plasticity loss in Reinforcement Learning (RL) under continual task changes, no RL method has yet consistently achieved a good balance between adaptation and forgetting. Here we turn to an alternative optimization paradigm, neuroevolution (NE): algorithms that search directly in weight space through mutation and selection over a population of neural networks. Across a wide array of environments an
