Proximal Action Replacement for Behavior Cloning Actor-Critic in Offline Reinforcement Learning

Jianshu Zhang, Jinzong Dong, Nanyang Ye, Qinying Gu, Wei Huang, Xinzhe Yuan, Zhaohui Jiang, Zhuo Chen

Proximal action replacement overcomes the imitation ceiling in BC-regularized actor-critic by substituting suboptimal dataset actions with value-guided improvements.

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

PAR consistently improves performance across offline RL benchmarks and approaches state-of-the-art results simply by being combined with the basic TD3+BC.

C2weakest assumption

That actions generated by the stable target policy, guided by local ascent of the action-value function and bounded by value uncertainty, can be substituted without destabilizing training or introducing new bias when dataset actions are suboptimal.

C3one line summary

Proximal action replacement breaks the imitation ceiling in BC-regularized offline RL actor-critic by substituting suboptimal dataset actions with value-guided improvements from a stable target policy.
