Looped Actor: Depth-Recurrent Reasoning Models for Reinforcement Learning

T. Konstantin Rusch, Tim Seyde, Jared Boyer, Zach J. Patterson, Daniela Rus

Uses a shared transformer block to refine a reinforcement-learning policy's internal state before choosing an action. Learns to vary the number of loops with the current state, and studies adaptive computation in puzzles and robotic-control tasks.
