• Abstract summary: Offline reinforcement learning (RL) provides a framework for learning decision-making from offline data. Self-driving vehicles (SDV) learn a policy, which potentially even outperforms the behavior in the sub-optimal data set. This motivates the use of model-based offline RL approaches, which leverage planning.

• Abstract: Offline reinforcement learning (RL) provides a framework for learning decision-making from offline data and therefore constitutes a promising approach for real-world applications as automated driving. Self-driving vehicles (SDV) learn a policy, which potentially even outperforms the behavior in the sub-optimal data set. Especially in safety-critical applications as automated driving, explainability and transferability are key to success. This motivates the use of model-based offline RL approaches, which leverage planning. However, current state-of-the-art methods often neglect the influence of aleatoric uncertainty arising from the stochastic behavior of multi-agent systems. This work proposes a novel approach for Uncertainty-aware Model-Based Offline REinforcement Learning Leveraging plAnning (UMBRELLA), which solves the prediction, planning, and control problem of the SDV jointly in an interpretable learning-based fashion. A trained action-conditioned stochastic dynamics model captures distinctively different future evolutions of the traffic scene. The analysis provides empirical evidence for the effectiveness of our approach in challenging automated driving simulations and based on a real-world public dataset.

  This paper introduces a knowledge-informed model-based residual reinforcement learning framework. It integrates traffic expert knowledge into a virtual environment model, employing the Intelligent Driver Model (IDM) for basic dynamics and neural networks for residual dynamics. We propose a novel strategy that combines traditional control methods with residual RL, facilitating efficient learning and policy optimization without the need to learn from scratch.

  We consider a model-based reinforcement learning algorithm that infers the system dynamics from the available data and performs policy optimization on imaginary model rollouts. This approach is vulnerable to exploiting model errors which can lead to catastrophic failures on the real system. We show that better performance can be obtained with a single well-calibrated autoregressive model on the D4RL benchmark.

  We study the problem of offline pre-training and online fine-tuning for reinforcement learning from high-dimensional observations. Existing model-based offline RL methods are not suitable for offline-to-online fine-tuning in high-dimensional domains. We propose an on-policy model-based method that can efficiently reuse prior data through model-based value expansion and policy regularization.

  Reinforcement Learning (RL) is notoriously data-inefficient, which makes training on a real robot difficult. offline RL has been proposed as a framework for training RL policies on pre-existing datasets without any online interaction. In this work, we consider the problem of pretraining a world model with offline data collected on a real robot, and then finetuning the model on online data collected by planning with the learned model.

  Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) has demonstrated great potentials in solving sequential decision making problems in many applications. One main barrier is the over-fitting issue that leads to poor generalizability of the policy learned by DRL. We propose a pessimistic model selection (PMS) approach for offline DRL with a theoretical guarantee.
