Evidencepartial
In this work, we propose a method that removes this dependency by automatically selecting optimal prototypes from the available data.
Implicationpartial
Directly stated as the core contribution in the abstract and introduction sections.
Verificationpartial
partial
Evidencepartial
Preliminary experiments on standard Gym environments demonstrate that our approach matches the performance of existing PW-Nets
Implicationpartial
Directly stated in the abstract with supporting results in tables, though specific numeric comparisons are provided.

Evidencepartial
while remaining competitive with the original black-box models.
Implicationpartial
Stated in the abstract and supported by performance tables showing comparable rewards, though not always equal.
Verificationpartial
partial
Evidencepartial
Based on the Manifold hypothesis, we assume that the encoded state representations produced by the policyπ bb, though inherently complex and non-linear, can be locally approximated into smaller chunks of linear regions.
Implicationpartial
Explicitly described in the methodology section with technical details.
Verificationpartial
partial
Evidencepartial
To overcome this limitation, we propose to decouple these objectives into two sequential stages. In the first stage, we focus on sampling prototypes that serve as robust and representative anchors for each class. In the second stage, these prototypes are fixed and used within PW-Net, which is then trained exclusively on the RL objective.
Implicationpartial
Clearly described in the methodology section as a core design choice.
Verificationpartial
partial
Evidencepartial
results for VIPER, PW-Net*, and k-means in certain high-dimensional environments (e.g. HumanoidStandup and Acrobot), as these methods fail to scale to such settings and do not produce meaningful policies in preliminary experiments.
Implicationpartial
Directly stated in the results section with specific environment examples.
Verificationpartial
partial
Evidencepartial
PCA and assess whether all points inX i can be reconstructed with a quality above a threshold T%. If the reconstruction quality remains acceptable, the new point is retained inX i; otherwise, it is excluded.
Implicationpartial
Technical details are explicitly provided in the methodology section.
Verificationpartial
partial
Evidencepartial
significantly reduces the reliance on subjective inputs, thereby promoting a more objective assessment of the prototypes.
Implicationpartial
Implied throughout the paper and explicitly mentioned in the context of promoting objective assessment.
