提出DR.Q算法,提升连续控制中模型表示的准确性与效率
Debiased Model-based Representations for Sample-efficient Continuous Control
- 通过最大化状态-动作对与下一状态表示间的互信息来减少偏差
- 在多个连续控制基准上用单一超参数配置表现超越或媲美强基线
- 适合关注高效强化学习与表示学习融合的研究者
基于模型的表示近期成为一种有前景的框架,将潜在动态信息嵌入表示中,用于下游的离策略演员-评论家学习。它隐式结合了无模型与基于模型方法的优点,同时避免了基于模型方法的训练开销。然而,现有方法往往无法充分捕捉相关变量信息,且容易过拟合经验回放缓冲区中的早期数据,导致表示和演员-评论家学习出现偏差,性能下降。为此,我们提出去偏的基于模型表示用于Q-learning,命名为DR.Q算法。DR.Q除了最小化当前状态-动作对与下一状态表示之间的偏差外,还显式最大化它们之间的互信息,并采用衰减优先经验回放进行过渡样本选择。我们在多个连续控制基准上使用单组超参数评估DR.Q,结果表明其可匹配或超越近期强基线,有时表现差距显著。代码已公开于https://github.com/dmksjfl/DR.Q。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Model-based representations recently stand out as a promising framework that embeds latent dynamics information into the representations for downstream off-policy actor-critic learning. It implicitly combines the advantages of both model-free and model-based approaches while avoiding the training costs associated with model-based methods. Nevertheless, existing model-based representation methods can fail to capture sufficient information about relevant variables and can overfit to early experiences in the replay buffer. These incur biases in representation and actor-critic learning, leading to inferior performance. To address this, we propose Debiased model-based Representations for Q-learning, tagged DR.Q algorithm. DR.Q explicitly maximizes the mutual information between the representations of the current state-action pair and the next state besides minimizing their deviations, and samples transitions with faded prioritized experience replay. We evaluate DR.Q on numerous continuous control benchmarks with a single set of hyperparameters, and the results demonstrate that DR.Q can match or surpass recent strong baselines, sometimes outperforming them by a large margin. Our code is available at https://github.com/dmksjfl/DR.Q.
