Decision Transformer: return-conditioned action sequence modeling

Contribution grade

Sequence-model reinforcement learning · Human-designed research method or resource

Reference score165,000Provisional editorial estimate of this exact contribution; its grade is assessed separately.

What changed

Trained a causal Transformer on interleaved return-to-go, state and action histories to predict actions by supervised learning, conditioning generation on desired returns at inference.

Scientific scope

Trained a causal Transformer on interleaved return-to-go, state and action histories to predict actions by supervised learning, conditioning generation on desired returns at inference. Default training predicts actions rather than fitting all trajectory variables. A desired return need not be attainable or supported by the offline data. Original v1 includes Michael Laskin; first two authors contributed equally and final two advised equally. Does not certify optimal actions for arbitrary environments.
