New AdamO optimizer enhances stability and performance in offline RL

Researchers have introduced AdamO, a novel optimizer designed to enhance stability in offline reinforcement learning. This new optimizer addresses the issue of 'collapse,' where errors in temporal-difference updates can lead to extreme and unusable Q-values. AdamO incorporates orthogonality constraints to prevent the amplification of TD errors, theoretically guaranteeing task safety while maintaining the continuous-time dissipative dynamics of Adam. Empirical results show that AdamO improves stability and performance across various offline RL benchmarks when integrated with existing baselines. AI

    AdamO: A Collapse-Suppressed Optimizer for Offline RL

    arXiv:2605.01968v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Offline reinforcement learning (RL) can fail spectacularly when bootstrapped temporal-difference (TD) updates amplify their own errors, driving the critic toward extreme and unusable Q-values. A key counterintuitive insight of this …
