Summary
This research addresses a critical issue in Actor-Critic architectures, particularly when fusing multi-timescale advantages (different gamma values) within PPO, which often leads to policy collapse or suboptimal local optima. The researcher diagnosed this problem, identifying two specific optimization pathologies as the root cause. A simple decoupled fix is proposed to resolve these issues, preventing policy instability.
