New action shaping technique allows policies to absorb trainable offsets

Researchers have introduced a new technique called action shaping, which allows reinforcement learning policies to absorb specific offsets during training that can be removed at deployment without affecting optimal policy performance. This method relies on the principle that a policy can absorb an offset if its own output layer can exactly reproduce it, a concept termed 'expressibility'. The effectiveness of action shaping is demonstrated by its minimal cost on 20 tasks, with the amplitude of the offset indicating the potential performance drop upon removal. AI
