Swapped goal-conditioned offline reinforcement learning
share
Offline goal-conditioned reinforcement learning (GCRL) can be challenging due to overfitting to the given dataset. To generalize agents' skills outside the given dataset, we propose a goal-swapping procedure that generates additional trajectories. To alleviate the problem of noise and extrapolation errors, we present a general offline reinforcement learning method called deterministic Q-advantage policy gradient (DQAPG). In the experiments, DQAPG outperforms state-of-the-art goal-conditioned offline RL methods in a wide range of benchmark tasks, and goal-swapping further improves the test results. It is noteworthy, that the proposed method obtains good performance on the challenging dexterous in-hand manipulation tasks for which the prior methods failed.
