Introduced by Yuhuai Wu et al. in Scalable trust-region method for deep reinforcement learning using Kronecker-factored approximation

archive 2025-07-28 Description, source and code snippet are the archive's method entry.

ACKTR, or Actor Critic with Kronecker-factored Trust Region, is an actor-critic method for reinforcement learning that applies trust region optimization using a recently proposed Kronecker-factored approximation to the curvature. The method extends the framework of natural policy gradient and optimizes both the actor and the critic using Kronecker-factored approximate curvature (K-FAC) with trust region.

Papers per year the archive tags with this method, by the paper's archive date (2 dated). Bars are counts, not a trend claim.

Components: the archive holds no method-to-method composition, so PwC's Components table cannot be rebuilt; the Papers list carries no Results column for the same reason (the archive does not join its leaderboard rows to method tags).
