| 2025 | ACTIVE: Offline Reinforcement Learning via Adaptive Imitation and In-sample V-EnsembleabstractOffline reinforcement learning (RL) aims to learn from static datasets and thus faces the challenge of value estimation errors for out-of-distribution actions. The in-sample learning scheme addresses this issue by performing implicit TD backups that does not query the values of unseen actions. However, pre-existing in-sample value learning and policy extraction methods suffer from over-regularization, limiting their performance on suboptimal or compositional datasets. In this paper, we analyze key factors in in-sample learning that might potentially hinder the use of a milder constraint. We propose Actor-Critic with Temperature adjustment and In-sample Value Ensemble (ACTIVE), a novel in-sample offline RL algorithm that leverages an ensemble of $V$-functions for critic training and adaptively adjusts the constraint level using dual gradient descent. We theoretically show that the $V$-ensemble suppresses the accumulation of initial value errors, thereby mitigating overestimation. Our experiments on the D4RL benchmarks demonstrate that ACTIVE alleviates overfitting of value functions and outperforms existing in-sample methods in terms of learning stability and policy optimality.
