Settling the sample complexity of model-based offline reinforcement learning
基于模型的离线强化学习样本复杂度
This paper is concerned with offline reinforcement learning (RL), which learns using precollected data without further exploration. Effective offline RL would be able to accommodate distribution shift and limited data coverage. However, prior results either suffer from suboptimal sample complexities or incur high burn-in cost to reach sample optimality, thus posing an impediment to efficient offline RL in sample-starved applications. We demonstrate that the model-based (or…
