Medium GrooveSquid.com (original content) Medium Difficulty Summary
A new approach to robust offline reinforcement learning (RL) is proposed for non-Markovian decision processes with low-rank structures. The method, featuring dataset distillation and a lower confidence bound design, enables finding an -optimal robust policy using O(1/^2) offline samples. This algorithm is extended to handle nominal models without specific structure, achieving polynomial sample efficiency under various uncertainty sets.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
Offline reinforcement learning can be improved by considering different environments within a set of possible scenarios. A new method is developed for non-Markovian decision processes with low-rank structures. The approach uses data distillation and confidence bounds to find the best policy. This method works well even when we don’t know all the details about how the environment might change.
