基于模型的离线强化学习面临泛化能力与分布外(OOD)区域利用错误风险之间的权衡。尽管OOD样本可能反映真实物理动态,却也带来模型被误用的风险。现有方法通常通过过度悲观正则化来应对,虽保证了鲁棒性,但牺牲了泛化性能。为此,我们提出后验采样策略优化(PSPO),将动力学建模视为贝叶斯推断过程,生成显式量化模型保真度的后验分布。通过结合后验采样与约束策略优化,该方法在利用动力学一致的分布外转移以增强泛化的同时,确保对模型误用的鲁棒性。理论上,我们将后验采样下的Q值估计建模为随机逼近问题并证明其收敛性;将策略优化分解为一系列约束子问题,证明求解这些子问题可保证单调改进直至收敛。在标准基准上的实验表明,PSPO在性能上超越当前最优基线。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

A fundamental challenge in model-based offline reinforcement learning (RL) lies in the trade-off between generalization and robustness against exploitation errors in out-of-distribution (OOD) regions. While OOD samples may capture valid underlying physical dynamics, they also introduce the risk of model exploitation. Existing methods typically address this risk through excessive pessimistic regularization, which ensures robustness but often sacrifices generalization. To overcome this limitation, we propose Posterior Sampling-based Policy Optimization (PSPO), which formulates dynamics modeling as a Bayesian inference process to derive a posterior that explicitly quantifies model fidelity. Through the integration of posterior sampling and constrained policy optimization, our method leverages dynamics-consistent OOD transitions for generalization while ensuring robustness against model exploitation. Theoretically, we formulate Q-value estimation under posterior sampling as a stochastic approximation problem and establish its convergence. We decompose policy optimization into a sequence of constrained subproblems, demonstrating that solving these subproblems guarantees monotonic improvement until convergence. Experiments on standard benchmarks validate that PSPO achieves superior performance compared to state-of-the-art baselines.
