Based Offline RL

Based offline reinforcement learning (RL) aims to train RL agents using only pre-collected data, avoiding the cost and risk of online interaction. Current research focuses on improving the robustness and efficiency of offline RL algorithms, exploring model-based approaches that leverage learned environment dynamics, and employing techniques like diffusion models and return-conditioned supervised learning to overcome limitations of traditional methods such as Bellman completeness issues. These advancements are significant because they enable the application of RL in scenarios where online data collection is impractical or unsafe, with potential impact across robotics, healthcare, and other fields.
