Researchers have introduced a new concept called "action sufficiency" for goal representations in offline goal-conditioned reinforcement learning. This concept addresses limitations in existing methods that derive goal representations from value learning, which can fail to distinguish between goals requiring different optimal actions. The proposed action sufficiency condition is proven to be necessary for optimal action prediction and is empirically shown to be more strongly linked to control success than value sufficiency. Actor-based representations, derived from standard log-likelihood training, are demonstrated to be approximately action-sufficient and outperform those learned via value function estimation. AI
