Variance reduction for policy gradient with action-dependent factorized baselines

OpenAI introduced a method to reduce variance in policy gradient algorithms using action-dependent factorized baselines. This approach improves the stability and efficiency of reinforcement learning training. It matters because better variance reduction leads to faster and more reliable learning in AI agents.
