将回报、状态和动作融合为单一令牌,提升决策模型效率与泛化能力。
Unified token representations for sequential decision models
- 用统一令牌合并三类信息,缩短序列长度
- 在多个数据集上达到或超越现有最佳性能
- 适合资源受限场景的高效决策系统设计
Transformer 在离线强化学习中通过将轨迹建模为回报、状态和动作的序列展现出强大潜力。然而,现有方法如 Decision Transformer(DT)及其变体存在冗余分词和二次注意力复杂度问题,限制了其在实时或资源受限环境中的可扩展性。为此,我们提出统一令牌表示(UTR),将回报、状态和动作合并为单一令牌,显著降低序列长度与模型复杂度。理论分析表明,UTR 可带来更紧的 Rademacher 复杂度界,暗示更强泛化能力。我们进一步构建两种变体:基于 Transformer 的 UDT 与基于门控 CNN 的 UDC。两者均在保持显著更低计算量的同时,实现与当前最优方法相当或更优的性能。结果表明,UTR 能跨架构良好泛化,可能为未来大规模决策模型提供高效的可扩展基础。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Transformers have demonstrated strong potential in offline reinforcement learning (RL) by modeling trajectories as sequences of return-to-go, states, and actions. However, existing approaches such as the Decision Transformer(DT) and its variants suffer from redundant tokenization and quadratic attention complexity, limiting their scalability in real-time or resource-constrained settings. To address this, we propose a Unified Token Representation (UTR) that merges return-to-go, state, and action into a single token, substantially reducing sequence length and model complexity. Theoretical analysis shows that UTR leads to a tighter Rademacher complexity bound, suggesting improved generalization. We further develop two variants: UDT and UDC, built upon transformer and gated CNN backbones, respectively. Both achieve comparable or superior performance to state-of-the-art methods with markedly lower computation. These findings demonstrate that UTR generalizes well across architectures and may provide an efficient foundation for scalable control in future large decision models.
