Offline Reinforcement Learning Algorithm

Offline reinforcement learning (RL) aims to train agents using pre-collected datasets, eliminating the need for costly online interaction with the environment. Current research focuses on addressing challenges like limited data, distribution shifts between training and deployment, and the impact of data quality on performance, employing techniques such as conservative Q-learning, diffusion models, and data augmentation methods to improve policy learning and generalization. These advancements are significant for real-world applications where online learning is impractical or unsafe, particularly in robotics, autonomous driving, and other domains with high-stakes decision-making.
