Proximal Policy Optimization Algorithms
Paper summary
PPO optimizes a surrogate policy-gradient objective through repeated minibatch updates on sampled interactions. Benchmark experiments compare sample efficiency, implementation simplicity, and runtime with other reinforcement-learning methods.
Relevance to the project
A possible external-training comparator if later requested. Explicit rewards and policy objectives should be labeled as predefined rather than intrinsic behavioral evaluation.
No PPO objective or training procedure is adopted for the engine.
