FAWAC: Feasibility Informed Advantage Weighted Regression for Persistent Safety in Offline Reinforcement Learning

  • 基于可行性条件设计优势加权回归,实现安全策略更新。
  • 在标准基准上同时保障高奖励与严格安全约束。
  • 特别适合处理高回报但危险的诱导型数据集。

安全的离线强化学习旨在仅使用离线数据训练策略时,在最大化累积奖励的同时遵守安全约束。核心挑战在于平衡安全性与性能,尤其是在策略遭遇分布外(OOD)状态和动作时,可能导致部署中出现安全违规或过度保守行为。为此,本文提出可行性感知的优势加权演员-评论家(FAWAC),一种在约束马尔可夫决策过程(CMDP)中实现持久安全的方法。FAWAC 利用针对离线数据集的可行性条件进行策略优化,支持非参数策略空间中的安全更新,随后投影到参数化空间以进行受限演员训练。通过将成本优势项引入优势加权回归(AWR),FAWAC 在最大化性能的同时确保满足安全约束。此外,还提出了一种应对更复杂场景的策略:即轨迹主要为高奖励但不安全的“诱惑型”数据集。在标准基准上的实证评估表明,FAWAC 能有效平衡安全与性能,从静态数据集中学习出可靠策略。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Safe offline reinforcement learning aims to learn policies that maximize cumulative rewards while adhering to safety constraints, using only offline data for training. A key challenge is balancing safety and performance, particularly when the policy encounters out-of-distribution (OOD) states and actions, which can lead to safety violations or overly conservative behavior during deployment. To address these challenges, we introduce Feasibility Informed Advantage Weighted Actor-Critic (FAWAC), a method that prioritizes persistent safety in constrained Markov decision processes (CMDPs). FAWAC formulates policy optimization with feasibility conditions derived specifically for offline datasets, enabling safe policy updates in non-parametric policy space, followed by projection into parametric space for constrained actor training. By incorporating a cost-advantage term into Advantage Weighted Regression (AWR), FAWAC ensures that the safety constraints are respected while maximizing performance. Additionally, we propose a strategy to address a more challenging class of problems that involves tempting datasets where trajectories are predominantly high-rewarded but unsafe. Empirical evaluations on standard benchmarks demonstrate that FAWAC achieves strong results, effectively balancing safety and performance in learning policies from the static datasets.
