Decade* of DRL

Inspired by the wounderful blogpost “The Decade of Deep Learning” by Leo Gao, I wrote one about Deep Reinforcement Learning.
One landmark paper per year:

• 2013 — DQN
• 2014 — Deterministic policy gradient (DPG)
• 2015 — DDPG
• 2016 — AlphaGo
• 2017 — PPO
• 2018 — SAC
• 2019 — Dreamer
• 2020 — CURL
• 2021 — Decision Transformer
• 2022 — InstructGPT (RLHF)
• 2023 — TD-MPC2
• 2024 — AlphaProof
• 2025 — DeepSeek-R1
