SafeAdapt: Provably Safe Policy Updates in Deep Reinforcement Learning

arXiv:2604.09452v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Safety guarantees are a prerequisite to the deployment of reinforcement learning (RL) agents in safety-critical tasks. Often, deployment environments exhibit non-stationary dynamics or are subject to changing performance goals, requiring updates to the learned policy. This leads to a fundamental challenge: how to update an RL policy while preserving its safety properties on previously encountered tasks? The majority of current approaches either d
