Q-learning Penalized Transformer for Safe Offline Reinforcement Learning

The paper introduces Q-learning Penalized Transformer (QPT), a training–inference consistent framework for safe offline reinforcement learning. QPT trains a Transformer policy that generates actions conditioned on trajectory context and target return/cost while incorporating a Q-shaped penalty to balance safety, reward maximization, and behavior regularization. The method consistently outperforms strong baselines on 38 DSRL benchmark tasks and adapts robustly to varying constraint thresholds.

Evaluation Metrics for Safe Reinforcement Learning

The paper introduces new evaluation metrics for safe reinforcement learning that go beyond average safety guarantees by examining how often and how severely safety bounds are violated, consistency across tasks and bounds, and the relationship between training-time and final policy behavior. It also proposes a safety tier system for categorizing algorithms and presents empirical safety evaluations on multiple navigation tasks. The authors recommend reporting aggregate metrics, distributional data, and task‑specific results together, and provide an open‑source suite, SafeRLEval, to facilitate reliable safety assessment.
