Fast and Highly Expressive Policy Learning for Offline Reinforcement Learning via Bootstrapped Flow Q-Learning
Researchers introduce Bootstrapped Flow Q-Learning (BFQ), a new offline reinforcement learning method that achieves single-step action generation without multi-step denoising, improving computational efficiency and performance over existing diffusion-based approaches. The framework eliminates auxiliary networks and distillation procedures while maintaining high expressiveness, demonstrated through D4RL benchmark evaluations.
