Never heard of "asymmetric actor-critic" algorithms? Yet, many successful #RL applications use them (see image). But these algorithms are not fully understood. Below, we provide some insights. 1177

There's a lot of attention drifting towards it (conceivably prompted by the increased attention on diffusion models and the like), and so many people are trying many things. It's a different way of thinking about things to me. 1141

Well-cited "SOTA" methods typically crash often. They tend to be very computational expensive. Both make a systematic study impossible. Finally, reviewers always ask for more methods, and more "SOTA". 2526
