This paper unifies existing techniques for model-free reinforcement learning methods to impose behavioral constraints on trained policies. By bridging classical optimization and control theory with value-based and actor-critic reinforcement learning, the authors develop a generic primal-dual framework that enables the imposition of various constraints on learned policies. The resulting algorithm, DualCRL, allows designers to automatically handle different combinations of policy constraints during training using trainable reward modifications. Evaluations in two interpretable environments demonstrate the efficacy of this versatile toolbox for designing systems with specific behavioral constraints.

This paper helps computers learn from experience without needing a blueprint. It makes sure the computer behaves well by setting rules, like not taking too many actions or staying within certain boundaries. The authors combine different techniques to create a new way to make these rules work together seamlessly. This allows designers to easily add specific rules during training and test it in different situations.
