Reliable reinforcement learning (RL) agents must maintain operational integrity amidst sensor malfunctions, dynamic disturbances, and slow environmental shifts. The detection of out-of-distribution conditions is pivotal to determining when an agent's observations, transitions, or trajectory dynamics deviate from the assumptions underpinning its policy training.
arXiv:2505. 02299v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Machine Learning (ML) models are trained on in-distribution (ID) data but often encounter out-of-distribution (OOD) inputs during deployment---posing serious risks in safety-critical domains.
