Offline Policy Optimization with Posterior Sampling
Quick summary
arXiv:2605.07393v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: A fundamental challenge in model-based offline reinforcement learning (RL) lies in the trade-off between generalization and robustness against exploitation errors in out-of-distribution (OOD) regions. The key to resolving this trade-off lies in enabling the model to explore OOD regions that remain consistent with underlying physical dynamics. However, achieving this is challenging because limited data cannot uniquely identify the dynamics model, and unconstrained exploration is risky. Existing methods often overlook this nuance, addressing th
