  • 用自监督动作排序替代传统惩罚,学习动作间相对优劣关系。
  • 在稀疏奖励任务中性能超越或媲美七种现有方法。
  • 适合低数据量视觉-语言-动作模型的在线微调与真实世界部署。

离线到在线强化学习通过利用预收集数据集提升样本效率。然而,在状态-动作空间大且数据覆盖有限的情况下,准确学习价值函数仍是一大挑战。为缓解值函数过估计带来的有害更新,先前方法通过降低分布外(OOD)动作相对于数据集中动作的权重来施加悲观性。尽管有效,但这本质上相当于行为克隆锚点,当数据集中动作表现不佳时,会阻碍后续在线策略优化。我们提出RankQ,一种结合自监督多项目排序损失的离线到在线Q-learning目标,增强时序差分学习以强制动作的结构化排序。通过学习动作间的相对偏好而非统一惩罚未见动作,RankQ使Q函数的梯度指向更高质量行为。在稀疏奖励D4RL基准上,RankQ性能与七种先前方法相当或更优。在基于视觉的机器人学习中,RankQ实现了预训练视觉-语言-动作(VLA)模型在低数据场景下的有效离线到在线微调,平均模拟成功率比次佳方法高出42.7%。在高数据设置下,相比次佳方法,模拟性能提升13.7%,并实现显著的模拟到现实迁移,将真实世界积木堆叠成功率从43.1%提升至88.9%。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Offline-to-online reinforcement learning (RL) improves sample efficiency by leveraging pre-collected datasets prior to online interaction. A key challenge, however, is learning an accurate critic in large state--action spaces with limited dataset coverage. To mitigate harmful updates from value overestimation, prior methods impose pessimism by down-weighting out-of-distribution (OOD) actions relative to dataset actions. While effective, this essentially acts as a behavior cloning anchor and can hinder downstream online policy improvement when dataset actions are suboptimal. We propose RankQ, an offline-to-online Q-learning objective that augments temporal-difference learning with a self-supervised multi-term ranking loss to enforce structured action ordering. By learning relative action preferences rather than uniformly penalizing unseen actions, RankQ shapes the Q-function such that action gradients are directed toward higher-quality behaviors. Across sparse reward D4RL benchmarks, RankQ achieves performance competitive with or superior to seven prior methods. In vision-based robot learning, RankQ enables effective offline-to-online fine-tuning of a pretrained vision-language-action (VLA) model in a low-data regime, achieving on average a 42.7% higher simulation success rate than the next best method. In a high-data setting, RankQ improves simulation performance by 13.7% over the next best method and achieves strong sim-to-real transfer, increasing real-world cube stacking success from 43.1% to 88.9% relative to the VLA's initial performance.
