Theoretical foundations for Offline Reinforcement Learning
MSR contributions in the space of theoretical foundation for Offline RL Globally, MSR has made some recent advances in the space of the statistical foundations of Offline RL (opens in new tab), where a central…
Safe Policy Improvement with Baseline Bootstrapping
In this umbrella project, we investigate a class of conservative Offline RL algorithms that use uncertainty estimators to decide whether they can trust their prediction to optimize their policy of they would better reproduce the…
Offline Reinforcement Learning Algorithms
In this page, we describe the algorithmic landscape of Offline RL and enumerate some algorithmic development efforts made by MSR in this space In a tutorial lecture (opens in new tab) on Offline RL (opens in…
