Policy Learning with Large World Models: Advancing Multi-Task Reinforcement Learning Efficiency and Performance

Advancing Multi-Task Reinforcement Learning Efficiency and Performance Practical Solutions and Value Model-Based Reinforcement Learning (MBRL) Innovation - Policy Learning with Large World Models (PWM) provides scalable solutions for multitasking in robotics. - Pretrains world models on offline data for efficient first-order gradient policy learning, achieving up to 27% higher rewards without costly online planning. - Focus on smooth, stable gradients over long horizons for better policies and faster training. Model-Free and Model-Based Approaches - Model-free methods like PPO and SAC dominate real-world applications and use actor-critic architectures. - MBRL methods like DreamerV3 and TD-MPC2 leverage large world models for efficient policy training. Evaluating PWM Performance - PWM outperforms existing methods, achieving higher rewards and smoother optimization landscapes in complex environments. - Superior reward performance and faster inference time than model-free methods in multi-task environments. - Robustness to stiff contact models and higher sample efficiency highlights PWM’s strengths. Application and Future Research - PWM utilizes large multi-task world models for efficient policy training but relies on extensive pre-existing data for world model training. - Challenges include re-training for each new task and limitations in low-data scenarios. - Future research could explore enhancements in world model training and extending PWM to image-based environments and real-world applications.
