离线强化学习为数据驱动控制提供了强大范式。相较于无模型方法,离线模型基于强化学习(MBRL)从静态数据集显式学习世界模型,并将其作为替代模拟器,提升了数据效率并具备超越数据集分布的泛化潜力。然而,现有离线MBRL方法普遍采用两阶段训练:先通过最大化观测转移概率来学习世界模型,再基于该模型优化策略以最大化预期回报。这种目标不匹配导致世界模型并非为有效策略学习而优化。此外,我们观察到离线MBRL所学策略在部署时往往缺乏鲁棒性,环境中的微小对抗扰动即可引发性能显著下降。为此,我们提出一个框架,通过统一学习目标动态协同调整世界模型与策略,以提升鲁棒性。核心是构建一个极大极小优化问题,并创新性地利用斯塔克尔伯格学习动态求解。我们提供了理论分析并设计了计算高效的实现方式。在十二个含噪声的D4RL MuJoCo任务和三个随机性托卡马克控制任务上进行基准测试,结果表明本方法达到当前最优性能。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Offline reinforcement learning (RL) offers a powerful paradigm for data-driven control. Compared to model-free approaches, offline model-based RL (MBRL) explicitly learns a world model from a static dataset and uses it as a surrogate simulator, improving data efficiency and enabling potential generalization beyond the dataset support. However, most existing offline MBRL methods follow a two-stage training procedure: first learning a world model by maximizing the likelihood of the observed transitions, then optimizing a policy to maximize its expected return under the learned model. This objective mismatch results in a world model that is not necessarily optimized for effective policy learning. Moreover, we observe that policies learned via offline MBRL often lack robustness during deployment, and small adversarial noise in the environment can lead to significant performance degradation. To address these, we propose a framework that dynamically adapts the world model alongside the policy under a unified learning objective aimed at improving robustness. At the core of our method is a maximin optimization problem, which we solve by innovatively utilizing Stackelberg learning dynamics. We provide theoretical analysis to support our design and introduce computationally efficient implementations. We benchmark our algorithm on twelve noisy D4RL MuJoCo tasks and three stochastic Tokamak Control tasks, demonstrating its state-of-the-art performance.
