• Abstract: Recent studies on online reinforcement learning (RL) have demonstrated the advantages of learning multiple behaviors from a single task, as in the case of few-shot adaptation to a new environment. Although this approach is expected to yield similar benefits in offline RL, appropriate methods for learning multiple solutions have not been fully investigated in previous studies. In this study, we therefore addressed the problem of finding multiple solutions from a single task in offline RL. We propose algorithms that can learn multiple solutions in offline RL, and empirically investigate their performance. Our experimental results show that the proposed algorithm learns multiple qualitatively and quantitatively distinctive solutions in offline RL.

  Reinforcement learning (RL) problems can be challenging without well-shaped rewards. We provide a theoretical framework that reformulates a single-task RL problem as a multi-task RL problem defined by a curriculum. We show that sequentially solving each task in the multi-task RL problem is more computationally efficient than solving the original single-task problem.

The algorithm is also shown empirically to outperform several state-of-the-art DRL algorithms on multiple benchmark RL problems.

  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.
