New method solves offline RL problems using learned dual ascent

Researchers have developed a new method for solving Lifted Bellman Linear Programming (LBLP) problems, a technique used in offline reinforcement learning. This approach, termed AL-LBLP, utilizes the method of multipliers to learn penalty coefficients through dual ascent, eliminating the need for a target network and fixed coefficients. The AL-LBLP method demonstrated strong performance on various benchmarks, achieving high success rates on OGBench tasks and long-horizon tasks like humanoidmaze-giant and antmaze-giant, while also showing robustness to large batch sizes.

    An Augmented Lagrangian Approach to Lifted Bellman Linear Programming

    arXiv:2611.14183v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Temporal-difference critics regress onto a bootstrapped target and usually need a target network. Lifted Bellman Linear Programming (LBLP) instead expresses the in-sample optimal values of offline RL as the solution to a linear prog…
