Applies dataset distillation to offline reinforcement learning, distilling a smaller synthetic dataset (DDRL) from offline trajectories so that a policy trained on it matches one trained on the full offline dataset or with percentile behavioral cloning.

Where it sits

Abstract (verbatim from arXiv)

Offline reinforcement learning often requires a quality dataset that we can train a policy on. However, in many situations, it is not possible to get such a dataset, nor is it easy to train a policy to perform well in the actual environment given the offline data. We propose using data distillation to train and distill a better dataset which can then be used for training a better policy model. We show that our method is able to synthesize a dataset where a model trained on it achieves similar performance to a model trained on the full dataset or a model trained using percentile behavioral cloning. Our project site is available at https://datasetdistillation4rl.github.io . We also provide our implementation at https://github.com/ggflow123/DDRL .
