  • 将专家轨迹转为状态条件下的动作偏好,通过对比学习训练智能体。
  • 9B模型在tau-bench上准确率从21.7%提升至41.4%,媲美在线强化学习。
  • 无需环境交互或奖励模型,适合资源受限的智能体训练场景。

大型语言模型智能体通常通过监督微调(SFT)从专家轨迹中训练,将其多轮行为视为普通文本模仿。这种方法简单且成本低,但仅学习模仿专家动作序列,无法在每个状态下选择应对潜在错误的正确动作。现有方法如偏好学习或强化学习虽可缓解此问题,但通常需要高成本环境回放和奖励模型。本文提出轻量级离线智能体策略优化方法Agentic-DPO,将专家轨迹转化为状态条件下的偏好监督。在每个专家动作状态,对当前状态采样一步动作,将可能的错误动作作为负例,与专家动作使用类似DPO的偏好目标进行对比。为避免偏好学习中策略与结构混合,引入策略保持增强(PPA),在多种结构下保持相同潜在轨迹且固定专家策略。Agentic-DPO无需在线环境回放、奖励模型或完整轨迹的学生探索。在StableToolBench、tau-bench retail和Mind2Web上实验表明,Agentic-DPO在不同模型规模下均显著优于模仿学习。尤其在9B模型上,tau-bench准确率从SFT的21.7%提升至41.4%,与相同主干的在线GRPO相当,仅需步级回放且训练时无环境交互。结果表明,当专家轨迹被转化为状态级动作偏好时,可实现低成本智能体策略优化。代码已开源。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Large Language Model (LLM) agents are commonly trained from expert trajectories using supervised fine-tuning (SFT), which treats multi-turn agent behavior as ordinary text imitation. This recipe is simple and low-cost, but it only learns to imitate the sequence of expert actions, rather than training the agent to choose the right action against plausible mistakes at each state. Existing methods to mitigate this problem include preference learning or reinforcement learning, but they usually need high-cost environment rollouts and reward models. We propose Agentic-DPO, a lightweight offline agent policy optimization method that turns expert trajectories into state-conditioned preference supervision. At each expert action state, Agentic-DPO samples a one-step action from the current state, treats plausible wrong actions as negatives, and contrasts them with the expert action using a DPO-style preference objective. To avoid mixing both policy and schema in preference learning, we introduce Policy-Preserving Augmentation (PPA), which renders the same latent trajectory under multiple schemas while keeping the expert policy fixed. Agentic-DPO requires no online environment rollout, reward model, or full-trajectory student exploration. We conduct experiments across StableToolBench, tau-bench retail, and Mind2Web, where Agentic-DPO consistently improves agents at different model scales beyond imitation. In particular, it raises tau-bench accuracy from 21.7% (SFT) to 41.4% for a 9B model, matching online GRPO under the same backbone with only step-level rollouts and without environment interaction during gradient steps. The results suggest that expert trajectories can support low-cost agentic policy optimization when converted from demonstrations into state-level action preferences. Code for Agentic-DPO is released at https://github.com/Schuture/Agentic-DPO.
