A Simple Unified Uncertainty-Guided Framework for Offline-to-Online Reinforcement Learning

Published

Summary

Offline reinforcement learning agents trained on fixed datasets often perform suboptimally, so they need further finetuning through online interaction. This paper proposes SUNG, a simple unified uncertainty-guided framework for offline-to-online RL. SUNG estimates uncertainty with a VAE-based state-action visitation density estimator, uses optimistic exploration, and adaptively applies conservative offline objectives to high-uncertainty samples and standard online objectives to low-uncertainty ones. It reports state-of-the-art online finetuning performance across D4RL environments and datasets.
