About this paper

Harin Lee, Kevin Jamieson

The authors model delayed state observation as an augmented Markov decision process and develop an optimistic method that shares transition estimates across states. In tabular settings, it achieves an upper regret bound of \(\tilde O(H\sqrt{D_{\max}SAK})\) and matches a lower bound up to logarithmic factors under stated conditions, while runtime remains exponential in maximum delay.
