用流模型设计安全策略,离线训练更快、部署更实时。
Safe Flow Q-Learning: Offline Safe Reinforcement Learning with Reachability-Based Flow Policies
- 结合可达性理论构建安全价值函数,通过自洽贝尔曼方程学习。
- 训练流策略并蒸馏为单步动作器,部署无需拒绝采样,延迟极低。
- 在船导航和安全物理仿真任务中,安全约束违反显著减少。
离线安全强化学习旨在从静态数据集中学习最大化奖励的策略,同时满足严格的安全约束。现有方法常依赖软期望成本目标或迭代生成推断,难以满足实时安全控制需求。本文提出安全流Q学习(Safe Flow Q-Learning, SafeFQL),将流策略(FQL)扩展至离线安全RL:利用基于哈密顿-雅可比可达性的安全价值函数,结合高效的单步流策略。SafeFQL通过自洽贝尔曼递归学习安全价值,采用行为克隆训练流策略,并将其蒸馏为单步动作器,实现无拒绝采样的奖励最大化安全动作选择。实验表明,SafeFQL虽离线训练成本略高,但推理延迟远低于扩散类生成基线,适合实时安全关键场景。在船导航与Safety Gymnasium MuJoCo任务中,其性能达到或超越已有离线安全RL方法,同时显著降低约束违反次数。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Offline safe reinforcement learning (RL) seeks reward-maximizing policies from static datasets under strict safety constraints. Existing methods often rely on soft expected-cost objectives or iterative generative inference, which can be insufficient for safety-critical real-time control. We propose Safe Flow Q-Learning (SafeFQL), which extends FQL to safe offline RL by combining a Hamilton--Jacobi reachability-inspired safety value function with an efficient one-step flow policy. SafeFQL learns the safety value via a self-consistency Bellman recursion, trains a flow policy by behavioral cloning, and distills it into a one-step actor for reward-maximizing safe action selection without rejection sampling at deployment. Empirically, SafeFQL trades modestly higher offline training cost for substantially lower inference latency than diffusion-style safe generative baselines, which is advantageous for real-time safety-critical deployment. Across boat navigation, and Safety Gymnasium MuJoCo tasks, SafeFQL matches or exceeds prior offline safe RL performance while substantially reducing constraint violations.
