• Abstract summary: We present a model-based RL method that learns to transfer potentially useful dynamics and action demonstrations from offline data to a novel task. The main idea is to use the world models not only as simulators for behavior learning but also as tools to measure the task relevance. We demonstrate the advantages of our approach compared with the state-of-the-art methods in Meta-World and DeepMind Control Suite.

• Abstract: Pretraining reinforcement learning (RL) models on offline datasets is a promising way to improve their training efficiency in online tasks, but challenging due to the inherent mismatch in dynamics and behaviors across various tasks. We present a model-based RL method that learns to transfer potentially useful dynamics and action demonstrations from offline data to a novel task. The main idea is to use the world models not only as simulators for behavior learning but also as tools to measure the task relevance for both dynamics representation transfer and policy transfer. We build a time-varying, domain-selective distillation loss to generate a set of offline-to-online similarity weights. These weights serve two purposes: (i) adaptively transferring the task-agnostic knowledge of physical dynamics to facilitate world model training, and (ii) learning to replay relevant source actions to guide the target policy. We demonstrate the advantages of our approach compared with the state-of-the-art methods in Meta-World and DeepMind Control Suite.

  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.

We first propose the mixture world model that learns task-specific dynamics priors with a mixture of Gaussians, and then introduce a new training strategy to overcome catastrophic forgetting. Our model remarkably outperforms the naive combinations of existing continual learning and visual RL algorithms on DeepMind Control and Meta-World benchmarks with continual visual control tasks.
