Abstract

Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) has emerged as a powerful framework for solving complex decision-making problems. This paper provides a comprehensive review and comparative analysis of various policy optimization techniques in DRL, including Policy Gradient Methods, Actor-Critic Algorithms, and Model-Based Approaches. We discuss the theoretical foundations, practical implementations, and recent advancements in each category. The paper also evaluates these techniques on a variety of benchmark tasks to highlight their strengths and limitations. Our analysis aims to provide insights into the current state of DRL and guide future research directions
