RoMAN-Flow: Taming Autoregressive Normalizing Flows for Offline Reinforcement Learning in Robotic Manipulation

Offline reinforcement learning improves robotic policies using previously collected data without further environment interaction. Yet prevalent diffusion- and flow-matching robot policies lack tractable likelihoods, limiting their use in likelihood-based offline RL post-training.

Latent Spherical Flow Policy for Reinforcement Learning with Combinatorial Actions

arXiv:2601. 22211v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) with combinatorial action spaces remains challenging because feasible action sets are exponentially large and governed by complex feasibility constraints, making direct policy parameterization impractical.
