DACERv2: Efficient Online Reinforcement Learning with Diffusion Policies
Outline
DACERv2 aims to improve the efficiency of online reinforcement learning by leveraging the expressive power of the diffusion model. To address the trade-off between the number of diffusion steps and performance, a key challenge for DACER, the Q-gradient field is utilized as an auxiliary optimization objective to guide the denoising process at each diffusion step. Furthermore, a temporal weighting technique is introduced to ensure consistency with the diffusion time step, removing large-scale noise in early stages and improving the output in later stages. Experiments on the OpenAI Gym benchmark and multimodal tasks show that DACERv2 outperforms existing and diffusion-based online RL algorithms even with a small number of diffusion steps (5), demonstrating superior multimodal learning capabilities.
