New method CSDG enhances offline reinforcement learning

Researchers have introduced Convex Hull Neighborhood Smooth Dual Generalization (CSDG), a novel method for offline reinforcement learning. CSDG addresses the issue of amplified estimation errors in out-of-distribution actions by explicitly separating in-sample value targets from generalized contributions. The method uses a smoothing technique with perturbation radii and a mixture coefficient to control the influence of generalized targets. Experiments on Gym-MuJoCo and AntMaze benchmarks demonstrate CSDG's strong performance and stable value estimation. AI

    Convex-Hull-Neighborhood Smooth Dual Generalization: Controlling Local Correction Propagation in Offline RL

    arXiv:2608.03108v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Offline reinforcement learning (offline RL) can benefit from nearby out-of-distribution (OOD) actions, but estimation errors at these actions may be amplified by bootstrapping. Existing regularization and local-generalization meth…
