Normalizing Flows Prove Capable for Continuous Control in RL

Researchers have demonstrated that normalizing flows (NFs) are capable models for continuous control tasks in reinforcement learning (RL). Contrary to the prevailing belief that NFs lack sufficient expressivity, this paper proposes a single NF architecture that can be seamlessly integrated into RL algorithms for various functions, including policy, Q-function, and occupancy measure. This integration simplifies RL algorithms and achieves superior performance in imitation learning, offline RL, goal-conditioned RL, and unsupervised RL. AI

IMPACT This research could simplify reinforcement learning algorithms and improve performance across various RL tasks by leveraging the expressivity of normalizing flows.

    Normalizing Flows are Capable Models for Continuous Control

    arXiv:2505.23527v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Modern reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms have found success by using powerful probabilistic models, such as transformers, energy-based models, and diffusion/flow-based models. To this end, RL researchers often choose to pay…
