Impact of the Scaling Parameter on Policy Behavior

An engineer is using the following equation to define a new policy πθ\pi_{\theta} based on a reference policy πθref\pi_{\theta_{\text{ref}}} and a reward function r(x,y)r(\mathbf{x}, \mathbf{y}): πθ(yx)=πθref(yx)exp(1βr(x,y))Z(x)\pi_{\theta}(\mathbf{y}|\mathbf{x}) = \frac{\pi_{\theta_{\text{ref}}}(\mathbf{y}|\mathbf{x}) \exp(\frac{1}{\beta}r(\mathbf{x}, \mathbf{y}))}{Z(\mathbf{x})} The engineer sets the positive scaling parameter β\beta to a value very close to zero. Describe the expected behavior of the resulting policy πθ\pi_{\theta} and explain why this behavior occurs by referencing the components of the equation.
