LLM-Guided Reinforcement Learning: Addressing Training Bottlenecks through Policy Modulation

  • 让大模型分析低效路径,识别关键状态并提供建议
  • 在多个基准上超越现有方法,提升长期奖励表现
  • 无需额外训练或人工干预,适合复杂任务场景

尽管强化学习在多个领域取得显著成果,但在复杂任务中训练有效策略仍具挑战性,智能体常陷入局部最优且无法最大化长期回报。现有方法主要分为两类:一是自动化策略优化,通过历史轨迹识别关键状态以指导更新,但需昂贵且不确定的模型训练;二是人机协同优化,依赖人类反馈修正行为,却难以扩展至具有大规模或连续动作空间的环境。本文提出一种基于大语言模型的策略调制框架,利用LLM分析次优智能体的轨迹,识别关键状态,进而提供动作建议并分配隐式奖励以引导策略改进。在标准强化学习基准上的实验表明,该方法优于当前最优基线,验证了大模型生成解释在缓解强化学习训练瓶颈中的有效性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

While reinforcement learning (RL) has achieved notable success in various domains, training effective policies for complex tasks remains challenging. Agents often converge to local optima and fail to maximize long-term rewards. Existing approaches to mitigate training bottlenecks typically fall into two categories: (i) Automated policy refinement, which identifies critical states from past trajectories to guide policy updates, but suffers from costly and uncertain model training; and (ii) Human-in-the-loop refinement, where human feedback is used to correct agent behavior, but this does not scale well to environments with large or continuous action spaces. In this work, we design a large language model-guided policy modulation framework that leverages LLMs to improve RL training without additional model training or human intervention. We first prompt an LLM to identify critical states from a sub-optimal agent's trajectories. Based on these states, the LLM then provides action suggestions and assigns implicit rewards to guide policy refinement. Experiments across standard RL benchmarks demonstrate that our method outperforms state-of-the-art baselines, highlighting the effectiveness of LLM-based explanations in addressing RL training bottlenecks.
