Conservative Query and Adaptive Regularization for Offline RL Under Uncertainty Estimation
- 基于不确定性估计选择关键动作进行查询,避免无效交互。
- 动态调整正则化强度,使策略更贴近数据分布且保持稳定性。
- 适用于数据覆盖不足场景,适合研究离线强化学习的开发者。
离线强化学习旨在从静态数据集学习有效策略,但其性能受数据覆盖范围制约。行动偏好查询通过专家反馈改进策略,无需环境交互。现有方法在选择有信息量的查询和有效利用反馈方面仍存在挑战:通常仅依赖策略动作与数据动作的距离进行查询选择,并采用固定约束保持策略接近查询偏好。这导致策略更新不稳定,且难以与价值正则化协同。为此,我们提出基于不确定性估计的保守查询与自适应正则化框架。通过Morse网络估计策略动作相对于离线数据集的不确定性,设计保守查询策略,仅在数据附近查询以保障贝尔曼更新稳定性;同时引入不确定性感知的自适应正则化机制,在策略优化过程中动态调整数据级约束。我们将该框架集成至CQL,并在D4RL基准上进行广泛评估,实验结果表明其在多种任务中表现优异或具有竞争力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Offline reinforcement learning (RL) aims to learn an effective policy from a static dataset, but its performance is fundamentally limited by dataset coverage. Action preference queries leverage expert feedback without additional environment interaction, enabling policy improvement during offline training. However, existing methods still face two key challenges: selecting informative preference queries and effectively exploiting the collected feedback. Current approaches typically rely only on the distance between policy actions and dataset actions for query selection, while enforcing fixed constraints that keep the policy close to queried preferences. Such strategies often lead to unstable policy updates and integrate poorly with value regularization. To address these limitations, we propose Conservative Query and Adaptive Regularization under Uncertainty Estimation, a lightweight framework that jointly improves preference querying and preference exploitation. Specifically, we employ a Morse network to estimate the uncertainty of policy actions with respect to the offline dataset. Based on this uncertainty, we introduce a conservative query strategy that selectively queries actions near the dataset to preserve Bellman-update stability, together with an uncertainty-aware adaptive regularization scheme that dynamically adjusts data-level constraints during policy optimization. We integrate our framework with CQL and evaluate it extensively on the D4RL benchmark. Experimental results demonstrate superior or competitive performance across a wide range of tasks.
