  • 分批处理数据流降低方差,提升学习稳定性。
  • 在5%污染数据下仍保持接近理想算法的误差水平。
  • 适合高风险环境下的自主决策系统开发。

针对恶劣环境中的强化学习问题,本文研究在对抗性反馈污染下学习最优策略的挑战。具体而言,每步时间中,对手可依据Huber污染模型同时扰动学习者的奖励与状态观测。为防御此类数据污染,我们提出BR-Async-Q:一种基于两个核心思想的新颖、基于轮次的鲁棒Q学习算法:(i) 将在线数据流划分为批次以降低方差;(ii) 利用这些批次数据构建鲁棒的贝尔曼最优算子估计。我们证明了BR-Async-Q的ℓ∞误差在高概率下与标准Q-learning相当,仅多出一个与污染样本比例成正比的小项。据我们所知,这是首个针对同时存在奖励与状态污染的异步Q-learning提供鲁棒性保证的工作。此外,当仅奖励受污染时,算法界标对污染比例的依赖达到极小极大最优。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Motivated by reinforcement learning in harsh environments, we consider the problem of learning an optimal policy subject to adversarially corrupted feedback. Specifically, at each time-step, an adversary can perturb both the reward and state observations of the learner following the Huber contamination model. To defend against such data corruption, we propose BR-Async-Q: a novel, epoch-based, robust Q-learning algorithm built upon two key ideas: (i) partitioning the online data stream into batches to reduce variance, and (ii) constructing robust estimates of the Bellman optimality operator using such batched data. We prove a high-probability $\ell_\infty$ error bound for BR-Async-Q that matches that for vanilla Q-learning, up to a small additive term that scales with the fraction of corrupted samples. To our knowledge, this provides the first robustness guarantee for asynchronous Q-learning subject to both reward and state corruption. Furthermore, when only rewards are corrupted, the dependence of our algorithm's bound on the corruption fraction is minimax optimal.
