SPAR: Support-Preserving Action Rectification 文章

arXiv:2605.27877v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Offline policy improvement faces an inherent conflict between maximizing value and fitting the data distribution. While in-sample weighted regression is stable, it suffers from over-conservatism that suppresses high-value actions in the distribution tail; conversely, gradient-based approaches often exhibit a fitting-optimization conflict of gradients, which drives the policy off the data manifold. To address this, we propose Support-Preserving Action Rectification (SPAR), which reframes global learning as a local residual rectification anchored to a frozen pure behavior cloning policy. This framework performs fine-grained fitting and local policy improvement in the residual space, thereby contracting the search space. We further introduce Latent Self-Imitation, utilizing a latent-sampling weighted-regression mechanism to address fitting-improvement gradient conflict in the residual space.
