让智能体从不完整的专家数据中学习,还能超越专家表现。
Going Beyond Expert Performance via Deep Implicit Imitation Reinforcement Learning
- 通过隐式模仿学习重建专家动作,结合在线探索与自适应信心机制。
- 在标准环境上收益比DQN高130%,且能突破专家性能上限。
- 适用于动作空间不同的场景,可加速64%训练,适合复杂现实任务。
模仿学习通常需要最优或近似最优专家提供的完整状态-动作示范,这严重限制了实际应用,因为许多真实场景仅有状态观测而无对应动作,且专家表现常为次优。本文提出一种深度隐式模仿强化学习框架,结合深度强化学习与仅基于观测的隐式模仿学习,解决上述问题。主算法DIIQN采用动作推断机制,通过在线探索重构专家动作,并引入动态信心机制,自适应平衡专家引导与自主学习。该设计使智能体既能加速训练,又能超越次优专家表现。进一步提出异构动作DIIQN(HA-DIIQN),处理专家与智能体动作集不同的情况,引入不可行性检测与桥梁构建机制,识别替代路径实现能力衔接。实验表明,DIIQN在单个回合回报上比标准DQN最高提升130%,持续优于现有无法超越专家性能的隐式模仿方法;在异构动作设置下,HA-DIIQN比基线快64%,利用了传统方法无法使用的专家数据。参数敏感性分析显示框架对数据量和超参数配置均具鲁棒性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Imitation learning traditionally requires complete state-action demonstrations from optimal or near-optimal experts. These requirements severely limit practical applicability, as many real-world scenarios provide only state observations without corresponding actions and expert performance is often suboptimal. In this paper we introduce a deep implicit imitation reinforcement learning framework that addresses both limitations by combining deep reinforcement learning with implicit imitation learning from observation-only datasets. Our main algorithm, Deep Implicit Imitation Q-Network (DIIQN), employs an action inference mechanism that reconstructs expert actions through online exploration and integrates a dynamic confidence mechanism that adaptively balances expert-guided and self-directed learning. This enables the agent to leverage expert guidance for accelerated training while maintaining capacity to surpass suboptimal expert performance. We further extend our framework with a Heterogeneous Actions DIIQN (HA-DIIQN) algorithm to tackle scenarios where expert and agent possess different action sets, a challenge previously unaddressed in the implicit imitation learning literature. HA-DIIQN introduces an infeasibility detection mechanism and a bridging procedure identifying alternative pathways connecting agent capabilities to expert guidance when direct action replication is impossible. Our experimental results demonstrate that DIIQN achieves up to 130% higher episodic returns compared to standard DQN, while consistently outperforming existing implicit imitation methods that cannot exceed expert performance. In heterogeneous action settings, HA-DIIQN learns up to 64% faster than baselines, leveraging expert datasets unusable by conventional approaches. Extensive parameter sensitivity analysis reveals the framework's robustness across varying dataset sizes and hyperparameter configurations.
