Understanding Meta-Gradients in Reinforcement Learning

This chapter explores the role of meta-gradients as an optimization technique in reinforcement learning, particularly in non-stationary environments. It highlights the complexities of balancing exploration and exploitation, discussing both theoretical implications and practical applications such as hyperparameter tuning. The conversation also contrasts single lifetime and multi-lifetime learning approaches, examining the challenges of adapting algorithms to varying contexts.
