这篇论文提出OptiFlow框架,用于解决离线强化学习中学习高效一步流策略的挑战。标准价值引导方法可能导致模式坍塌或过估计偏差。OptiFlow通过状态感知的最优传输,将价值感知的参考流策略和高效的一步策略耦合,利用价值定义蒸馏目标的优先级,同时确保动作距离成本保证几何兼容性,从而避免直接最大化批评器,实现高价值、数据支持的模式的内分布利用,减少越界发散风险。实验表明,OptiFlow能有效捕捉最优多模态行为,在多个离线RL基准上取得强性能。

Learning Multimodal One-step Flow Policy via Value-weighted Optimal Transport

Offline reinforcement learning aims to learn a policy solely from fixed datasets, which often contain multimodal action distributions. Flow policies can naturally represent such multimodal behaviors, but learning an efficient one-step flow policy remains challenging: standard value guidance often leads to mode collapse or exploits overestimation bias in out-of-distribution regions. To address this, we introduce One-step Flow policy via Optimal Transport (OptiFlow), a framework for one-step flow policy learning as a structured sample-allocation problem. OptiFlow jointly trains a value-aware reference flow policy and an efficient one-step policy, coupling their action samples through state-wise entropic optimal transport. For each state, critic-estimated values define the priority of distillation target actions, while the action-distance cost ensures geometrically compatible pairings. By avoiding direct critic maximization, our transport-guided approach enables in-distribution exploitation by anchoring the one-step policy to high-value, dataset-supported modes without the risk of out-of-distribution divergence. Experimental results demonstrate that OptiFlow effectively captures optimal multimodal behaviors and achieves strong performance across diverse offline RL benchmarks.
