| abstract: > |
| UGTC is a backbone-agnostic advantage estimator for actor-critic reinforcement |
| learning. It maintains dual critics with different GAE lambda values and blends |
| their estimates using a sigmoid uncertainty gate driven by ensemble disagreement, |
| resolving the bias-variance trade-off in temporal credit assignment. |
