跨域离线强化学习旨在仅用少量目标域数据和存在动态偏移的源域数据训练策略。直接使用原始源数据常导致性能崩溃。现有方法从动态对齐或价值对齐角度进行数据筛选,但通常仅在单一源域或单行为策略数据上验证。本文研究更通用的异构跨域离线强化学习场景,其中源数据来自多个源域且由多种行为策略收集。我们首次揭示该设置下的关键问题:价值误分配。实证与理论分析表明,价值误分配会破坏价值对齐,误导数据筛选选择次优样本,并缩小最优性差距,从而降低智能体表现。为此,我们提出V2A,整合动态对齐、价值对齐与价值分配。V2A首先通过时序一致的模态表示学习提取源数据中的动态模态,再通过模态感知的优势学习修正价值对齐,最后采用数据筛选机制有选择地共享源数据用于策略学习。实验结果表明,V2A在一般异构跨域离线强化学习设置下显著优于强基线方法。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Cross-domain offline reinforcement learning (RL) aims to learn a policy in the target domain with a limited target domain dataset and a source domain dataset that exhibits a dynamics shift. Training directly on the original source dataset typically leads to performance collapse. Recent studies perform data filtering from the perspective of dynamics alignment or value alignment to enable efficient policy transfer. However, these studies are typically validated on single-domain or single-behavior-policy source datasets. In this work, we explore a more general heterogeneous cross-domain offline RL setting, where the source datasets may be collected from multiple source domains by diverse behavior policies. We first uncover a critical yet overlooked issue in this setting: value misassignment. Empirically and theoretically, we demonstrate that value misassignment can undermine value alignment, mislead data filtering toward selecting suboptimal samples, and loosen the suboptimality gap, thereby degrading the agent's performance. To address this issue, we propose V2A, which integrates dynamics alignment, value alignment, and value assignment. V2A first employs temporally-consistent modality representation learning to extract dynamics modalities from the source dataset, followed by modality-aware advantage learning to rectify value alignment. Finally, it adopts a data filtering paradigm to selectively share source data for policy learning. Empirical results show that V2A significantly outperforms strong baseline methods under general heterogeneous cross-domain offline RL settings.
