Exchange Policy Optimization Algorithm for Semi-Infinite Safe Reinforcement Learning

  • 通过迭代求解有限约束子问题,动态调整约束集。
  • 保证策略性能接近最优,且安全违规严格控制在预设范围内。
  • 适合需要全局安全约束的工业控制、资源分配等场景。

安全强化学习旨在优化长期性能的同时满足安全要求。但在许多实际应用中,问题涉及无限多个约束,称为半无限安全强化学习(SI-safe RL)。这类约束通常出现在需在整个连续参数空间上强制执行安全条件时,例如确保每个空间位置都有足够的资源分配。本文提出交换策略优化(EPO)算法框架,实现最优策略性能和确定性安全边界。EPO通过迭代求解具有有限约束集的安全强化学习子问题,并利用约束扩展与删除自适应调整活动约束集。每次迭代中,违反程度超过预设容差的约束被加入以精炼策略,而拉格朗日乘子为零的约束在策略更新后被移除。该交换规则防止工作集无序增长,支持高效策略训练。理论分析表明,在温和假设下,通过EPO训练的策略性能可媲美最优解,且全局约束违规严格保持在预定界限内。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Safe reinforcement learning (safe RL) aims to respect safety requirements while optimizing long-term performance. In many practical applications, however, the problem involves an infinite number of constraints, known as semi-infinite safe RL (SI-safe RL). Such constraints typically appear when safety conditions must be enforced across an entire continuous parameter space, such as ensuring adequate resource distribution at every spatial location. In this paper, we propose exchange policy optimization (EPO), an algorithmic framework that achieves optimal policy performance and deterministic bounded safety. EPO works by iteratively solving safe RL subproblems with finite constraint sets and adaptively adjusting the active set through constraint expansion and deletion. At each iteration, constraints with violations exceeding the predefined tolerance are added to refine the policy, while those with zero Lagrange multipliers are removed after the policy update. This exchange rule prevents uncontrolled growth of the working set and supports effective policy training. Our theoretical analysis demonstrates that, under mild assumptions, strategies trained via EPO achieve performance comparable to optimal solutions with global constraint violations strictly remaining within a prescribed bound.
