Reflective Policy Optimization

On-policy reinforcement learning methods, like Trust Region Policy Optimization (TRPO) and Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO), often demand extensive data per update, leading to sample inefficiency. This paper introduces Reflective Policy Optimization (RPO), a novel on-policy extension that amalgamates past and future state-action information for policy optimization. This approach empowers the agent for introspection, allowing modifications to its actions within the current state. Theoretical analysis confirms monotonically improving policy performance and contracts the solution space, consequently expediting the training process. Empirical results demonstrate RPO's feasibility and efficacy in reinforcement learning benchmarks, culminating in superior sample efficiency. The source code is available in the supplementary.
