  • Publication number: 20240037445
    Abstract: Systems and methods for pessimistic offline reinforcement learning are described herein. In one example, a method for performing offline reinforcement learning determines when sampled states are out of distribution, assigns high probability weights to the sampled states that are out of distribution, generates a fitted Q-function by solving an optimization problem with a minimization term and a maximization term, estimates a Q-value using the fitted Q-function by estimating the overall expected reward assuming the agent is in the present state and performs a present action, and updates the policy according to an existing reinforcement learning algorithm. The minimization term penalizes an overall expected reward when a present state is out of distribution. The maximization term cancels the minimization term when the present state is an in-distribution state.
