强化学习的两个「大坑」,终于被两篇ICLR论文给解决了
机器之心· 2025-07-17 09:31
Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the emergence of real-time reinforcement learning (RL) frameworks that address the limitations of traditional RL algorithms, particularly in dynamic environments where timely decision-making is crucial [1][4]. Group 1: Challenges in Traditional Reinforcement Learning - Existing RL algorithms often rely on an idealized interaction model where the environment and agent take turns pausing, which does not reflect real-world scenarios [3][4]. - Two key difficulties in real-time environments are identified: inaction regret, where agents may not act at every step due to long reasoning times, and delay regret, where actions based on past states lead to delayed impacts [7][8]. Group 2: New Frameworks for Real-Time Reinforcement Learning - Mila laboratory's two papers propose a new real-time RL framework to tackle reasoning delays and action omissions, enabling large models to respond instantly in high-frequency, continuous tasks [9]. - The first paper introduces an asynchronous multi-process reasoning and learning framework that allows agents to utilize available computational power effectively, thereby eliminating inaction regret [11][15]. Group 3: Performance in Real-Time Applications - The first paper demonstrates the framework's effectiveness in capturing Pokémon in the game "Pokémon: Blue" using a model with 100 million parameters, emphasizing the need for rapid adaptation to new scenarios [17]. - The second paper presents an architecture solution to minimize inaction and delay in real-time environments, drawing parallels to early CPU architectures and introducing parallel computation mechanisms in neural networks [22][24]. Group 4: Combining Techniques for Enhanced Performance - The combination of staggered asynchronous inference and temporal skip connections allows for reduced inaction and delay regrets, facilitating faster decision-making in real-time systems [27][36]. - This integration enables the deployment of powerful, responsive agents in critical fields such as robotics, autonomous driving, and financial trading, where response speed is essential [36][37].
