Researchers fix synthetic data failures in reinforcement learning policy optimization

Researchers have identified and addressed algorithmic failures in Model-Based Policy Optimization (MBPO), a technique used in reinforcement learning. The study found that MBPO can underperform compared to other methods like Soft Actor-Critic (SAC) due to scale mismatches and residual next-state prediction, which lead to critic underestimation and unreliable synthetic data. A new method called Fixing That Free Lunch (FTFL) was introduced, which combines target normalization and direct next-state prediction to resolve these issues, showing improved performance on several benchmark tasks.
