1. The document summarizes a paper on applying spectral normalization (SN) to deep reinforcement learning. SN improves stability and performance by constraining the width of parameter values.
2. Experiments on Atari games and MinAtar show that applying SN to intermediate layers of value functions outperforms baseline algorithms and expands the range of high-performing Adam hyperparameters.
3. The paper clarifies the relationship between SN and gradient calculation. Proposed methods that schedule learning rates or gradients based on parameter norms can achieve performance equivalent to SN without explicitly applying SN.
