What is overfitting in Deep Q-Networks and how can it be prevented?
Updated May 17, 2026
Short answer
Overfitting in DQN occurs when the model memorizes specific transitions instead of generalizing.
Deep explanation
DQN can overfit to replay buffer data, especially if diversity is low. Techniques like dropout, regularization, larger replay buffers, and exploration strategies help improve generalization.
