AbstractA2-OPD treats the relative policy difference as a transferable reward.
A2-OPD treats the log probability difference of one agent policy relative to another agent reference as an implicit reward that can be added to other objectives. Conventional OPD is the special case where the two references coincide and the transfer strengths are equal.
