A new study has trained over 160,000 policies across 114 datasets to investigate factors influencing offline policy learning in reinforcement and imitation learning. The research found that no single algorithm consistently dominates, with performance often being close among top methods but varying significantly by environment. Proper hyperparameter tuning was shown to frequently alter perceived algorithm rankings, and the composition of benchmarks could lead to conflicting conclusions. To improve research reliability, the study introduces JumpStart, a resource suite that includes all trained policies, their scores and hyperparameters, baselines, and code, along with a website for analysis and contribution.
