4.1 Policy-based vs Value-based

4.1.1 2つのアプローチ

強化学習には大きく分けて2つのアプローチがあります：

4.1.2 Policy Gradientの動機

Value-basedアプローチの課題：

• 連続行動空間: ロボット制御など、無限の行動選択肢がある場合に$\arg\max$計算が困難
• 確率的方策: じゃんけんのように確率的な行動が最適な場合に対応しづらい
• 高次元行動空間: 行動の組み合わせが膨大な場合、すべての行動価値を計算するのは非効率

Policy-basedアプローチの解決策：

• 方策をパラメータ $\theta$ でモデル化: $\pi_\theta(a|s)$
• 期待リターンを最大化するように $\theta$ を直接最適化
• ニューラルネットワークで方策を表現可能

4.1.3 Policy Gradientの定式化

方策 $\pi_\theta(a|s)$ をパラメータ $\theta$ で表現し、期待リターン（目的関数）$J(\theta)$ を最大化します：

ここで：

• $\tau = (s_0, a_0, r_1, s_1, a_1, r_2, \ldots)$: 軌跡（trajectory）
• $R(\tau) = \sum_{t=0}^{T} \gamma^t r_t$: 軌跡の累積報酬

Policy Gradient定理により、$J(\theta)$ の勾配は以下のように表せます：

ここで $R_t = \sum_{t'=t}^{T} \gamma^{t'-t} r_{t'}$ は時刻 $t$ からの累積報酬です。

直感的理解: 高いリターンをもたらした行動の確率を増やし、低いリターンの行動の確率を減らす。これにより、良い軌跡を生成する方策パラメータへと更新される。

4.2 REINFORCEアルゴリズム

4.2.1 REINFORCEの基本原理

REINFORCE（Williams, 1992）は最もシンプルなPolicy Gradientアルゴリズムです。モンテカルロ法でリターンを推定します。

アルゴリズム

1. 方策 $\pi_\theta(a|s)$ で1エピソードを実行し、軌跡 $\tau$ を収集
2. 各時刻 $t$ のリターン $R_t$ を計算
3. 勾配上昇でパラメータを更新： $$ \theta \leftarrow \theta + \alpha \sum_{t=0}^{T} \nabla_\theta \log \pi_\theta(a_t|s_t) R_t $$

バリアンス削減：Baseline

リターンから定数 $b$ を引いても勾配の期待値は変わりません（不偏性）。これにより分散を削減できます：

一般的な選択：$b = V(s_t)$（状態価値関数）

✓ REINFORCEの特徴:
  • シンプルで実装が容易
  • モンテカルロ法（エピソード終了後に更新）
  • 高分散（リターンの変動が大きい）
  • On-policy（現在の方策でサンプリング）

4.2.3 REINFORCEの課題

REINFORCEには以下の課題があります：

• 高分散: リターン $R_t$ の分散が大きく、学習が不安定
• サンプル非効率: エピソード終了まで更新できない
• モンテカルロ法: 長いエピソードでは学習が遅い

解決策: Actor-Criticアーキテクチャでリターンを価値関数で推定

4.3 Actor-Critic法

4.3.1 Actor-Criticの原理

Actor-Criticは、Policy Gradient（Actor）とValue-based（Critic）を組み合わせた手法です。

利点

• 低分散: Criticによるベースライン $V(s)$ で分散削減
• TD学習: エピソード途中でも更新可能（TD誤差使用）
• 効率的: モンテカルロ法より学習が速い

更新式

TD誤差（Advantage）：

Actorの更新：

Criticの更新：

4.4 Advantage Actor-Critic (A2C)

4.3.1 A2Cの改善点

A2C (Advantage Actor-Critic)は、Actor-Criticの改良版で以下の特徴があります：

• n-step returns: 複数ステップ先まで見たリターンを使用
• Parallel environments: 複数環境で同時にサンプリング（データ多様性）
• Entropy regularization: 探索を促進
• Generalized Advantage Estimation (GAE): バイアスと分散のトレードオフを調整

n-step Returns

1ステップTDではなく、$n$ステップ先までの報酬を使用：

Entropy Regularization

方策のエントロピーを目的関数に加え、探索を促進：

ここで $H(\pi) = -\sum_a \pi(a|s) \log \pi(a|s)$ はエントロピー。

4.5 Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO)

4.5.1 PPOの動機

Policy Gradientの課題：

• 大きなパラメータ更新: 方策が大きく変化しすぎると性能が悪化
• サンプル効率: on-policy学習は非効率

PPO (Proximal Policy Optimization)の解決策：

• Clipped objective: 方策の変化を制限
• Multiple epochs: 同じデータで複数回更新（off-policyに近い）
• Trust region: 安全な更新範囲内で最適化

4.5.2 PPOのClipped Objective

PPOの目的関数は以下のようにクリップされた確率比を使用します：

ここで：

• $r_t(\theta) = \frac{\pi_\theta(a_t|s_t)}{\pi_{\theta_{\text{old}}}(a_t|s_t)}$: 確率比
• $\epsilon$: クリッピング範囲（通常 0.1 〜 0.2）
• $A_t$: Advantage

直感的理解：

• Advantageが正の場合: 確率比を $[1, 1+\epsilon]$ に制限（過度な増加を防ぐ）
• Advantageが負の場合: 確率比を $[1-\epsilon, 1]$ に制限（過度な減少を防ぐ）

4.7 連続行動空間とGaussian Policy

4.7.1 連続行動空間の扱い

これまでは離散行動空間（CartPole、LunarLander）を扱いましたが、ロボット制御などでは連続行動空間が必要です。

Gaussian Policy：

行動を正規分布からサンプリング：

ここで：

• $\mu_\theta(s)$: 平均（ニューラルネットワークで出力）
• $\sigma_\theta(s)$: 標準偏差（学習可能パラメータまたは固定値）
