将策略参数压缩到低维隐空间,提升强化学习效率

From Parameters to Behaviors: Unsupervised Compression of the Policy Space

  • 用生成模型将高维策略参数映射到低维隐空间
  • 压缩比达五数量级仍保持策略表达能力
  • 适合需要高效多任务学习的研究者

尽管深度强化学习近期取得成功,但其样本效率仍很低。我们认为,这种低效源于在高维且高度冗余的参数空间Θ中直接优化策略。这一问题在多任务场景中尤为突出。本文提出一种无监督方法,将策略参数空间Θ压缩至低维隐空间𝒁。通过优化行为重建损失训练生成模型g:𝒁→Θ,使隐空间按功能相似性组织,而非参数距离。我们推测该流形的内在维度取决于环境复杂度,而非策略网络规模。在连续控制任务中验证,标准策略网络的参数可压缩达五数量级,同时保留大部分表达能力。作为副产物,所学流形支持在隐空间𝒁中通过策略梯度实现任务特异性适应。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Despite its recent successes, Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) is notoriously sample-inefficient. We argue that this inefficiency stems from the standard practice of optimizing policies directly in the high-dimensional and highly redundant parameter space $Θ$. This challenge is greatly compounded in multi-task settings. In this work, we develop a novel, unsupervised approach that compresses the policy parameter space $Θ$ into a low-dimensional latent space $\mathcal{Z}$. We train a generative model $g:\mathcal{Z}\toΘ$ by optimizing a behavioral reconstruction loss, which ensures that the latent space is organized by functional similarity rather than proximity in parameterization. We conjecture that the inherent dimensionality of this manifold is a function of the environment's complexity, rather than the size of the policy network. We validate our approach in continuous control domains, showing that the parameterization of standard policy networks can be compressed up to five orders of magnitude while retaining most of its expressivity. As a byproduct, we show that the learned manifold enables task-specific adaptation via Policy Gradient operating in the latent space $\mathcal{Z}$.
