Sommario:
  • Offline-to-online reinforcement learning (O2O RL) faces a central challenge between retaining offline conservatism and adapting to online feedback under distribution shift. This challenge arises because data behavior evolves during fine-tuning, rendering data origin a misleading basis for constraint handling and thereby leading to objective-data mismatch. We therefore propose Dynamic Alignment for RElaxation (DARE), a distribution-aware framework for sample-level constraint relaxation based on the behavioral consistency with a behavior model. To our knowledge, DARE is the first to condition constraint relaxation on behavioral consistency via a posterior-induced exchange mechanism, moving beyond a binary offline/online data distinction. Importantly, DARE requires only per-sample behavioral alignment, enabling instantiation on top of many offline algorithms with flexible choices of behavior models and fine-tuning objectives. We provide a theoretical analysis showing that behavior-based sample exchange consistently improves the distinction between offline-like and online-like subsets. Experiments on D4RL demonstrate that DARE consistently improves fine-tuning stability and achieves superior final performance over strong offline-to-online baselines.
