Drift Q-Learning advances offline RL with unified approach

Researchers have introduced Drift Q-Learning (DriftQL), a novel approach for offline reinforcement learning that addresses the challenge of unreliable value estimates from out-of-distribution actions. DriftQL combines a drift-based behavioral regularizer with critic-driven policy improvement, guiding the policy towards high-value regions within the existing data while preventing mode collapse. This method achieves state-of-the-art performance on benchmarks like D4RL and OGBench, outperforming diffusion and flow-based methods, and demonstrates robust performance even with degraded data quality.

    Drift Q-Learning

    arXiv:2606.00350v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Offline reinforcement learning requires improving a policy from fixed data while avoiding out-of-distribution actions with unreliable value estimates. Diffusion and flow policies handle this trade-off by modeling the behavior dist…
