HorizonFlow: Variable-Length Planning for Offline Goal-Conditioned RL

Read the original on arXiv AI →

HorizonFlow is a hierarchical planner for offline goal-conditioned reinforcement learning that treats the planning horizon as an output rather than a fixed input. It uses a subgoal route planner and an action-prefix controller, both employing insertion-based generation and flow matching, to jointly generate continuous plan content and its length. The method leverages the partially generated plan to guide token insertion and to steer generation toward shorter plans, achieving superior performance on Maze2D, Multi2D, and OGBench benchmarks.

Offline RL with Hierarchical Action Chunking

Offline goal-conditioned reinforcement learning (RL) holds the promise of learning general-purpose policies from static datasets. However, scaling these methods to long-horizon tasks remains a challenge due to the curse of horizon, where value estimation errors can compound through long chains of bootstrapped Bellman backups.

Aim Short to Reach Far: Your Frozen World Model Can Plan Better Than You Think

The paper demonstrates that planners using frozen visual world models can achieve better control by changing the target used for action scoring. Instead of scoring actions solely by distance to the final goal image, the authors propose Anchored Planning, which retrieves a recorded trajectory segment that matches the current and goal observations and then scores actions toward an intermediate observation shortly after the segment’s start. Experiments on Cube, PushT, Reacher, and TwoRoom show that this intermediate-target approach outperforms the released LeWM planner on all long‑range tasks, while simple final‑goal search fails to achieve the same gains.
