## Summary

Chelsea Finn shared Alexander Swerdlow's paper, which proposes generative value classifiers, a way of parameterizing Q-functions that does not require action conditioning. The authors believe this type of method can be combined with large-scale pretrained policies and can learn and generalize better from richer output signals.
