Offline Reinforcement Learning with Domain-Unlabeled Data

摘要

Offline reinforcement learning (RL) is vital in areas where active data collection is expensive or infeasible, such as robotics or healthcare. In the real world, offline datasets often involve multiple domains that share the same state and action spaces but have distinct dynamics, and only a small fraction of samples are clearly labeled as belonging to the target domain we are interested in. For example, in robotics, precise system identification may only have been performed for part of the deployments. To address this challenge, we consider Positive-Unlabeled Offline RL (PUORL), a novel offline RL setting in which we have a small amount of labeled target-domain data and a large amount of domain-unlabeled data from multiple domains, including the target domain. For PUORL, we propose a plug-and-play approach that leverages positive-unlabeled (PU) learning to train a domain classifier. The classifier then extracts target-domain samples from the domain-unlabeled data, augmenting the scarce target-domain data. Empirical results on a modified version of the D4RL benchmark demonstrate the effectiveness of our method: even when only 1 to 3 percent of the dataset is domain-labeled, our approach accurately identifies target-domain samples and achieves high performance, even under substantial dynamics shift. Our plug-and-play algorithm seamlessly integrates PU learning with existing offline RL pipelines, enabling effective multi-domain data utilization in scenarios where comprehensive domain labeling is prohibitive.
