Behavior Constraining in Weight Space for Offline Reinforcement Learning.

In offline reinforcement learning, a policy needs to be learned from a single pre-collected dataset. Typically, policies are thus regularized during training to behave similarly to the data generating policy, by adding a penalty based on a divergence between action distributions of generating and trained policy. We propose a new algorithm, which constrains the policy directly in its weight space instead, and demonstrate its effectiveness in experiments.
