Policy-Guided Diffusion: Revolutionizing Offline Reinforcement Learning

Challenges in Reinforcement Learning

Reinforcement learning (RL) faces hurdles due to inefficiency in sample collection, hindering real-world adoption. Standard RL methods struggle in risky exploration environments.

Practical Solutions with Policy-Guided Diffusion (PGD)

Policy-Guided Diffusion (PGD) addresses the compounding error in offline RL by modeling entire trajectories instead of single-step transitions. It trains a diffusion model on pre-collected data to generate synthetic trajectories under the behavior policy, utilizing guidance from the target policy to align trajectories and reduce divergence from the behavior policy.

Key Benefits of PGD

– **Effectiveness**: Agents trained with synthetic experience from PGD outperform those trained on unguided synthetic data or directly on the offline dataset.
– **Guidance Coefficient Tuning**: Tuning the guidance coefficient in PGD enables the sampling of trajectories with high action likelihood across a range of target policies.
– **Low Dynamics Error**: PGD retains low dynamics error, achieving significantly lower error across all target policies compared to other methods.
– **Training Stability**: PGD demonstrates consistent performance improvement and stability compared to other training approaches.

Value and Practical Implementation

PGD offers a controllable method for synthetic trajectory generation in offline RL, achieving competitive performance and improving downstream agent performance across diverse environments and behavior policies.

Embracing AI for Business Transformation
