Reinforcement Learning via Fixed-point Flow Matching

To address this limitation, we propose fixed-point flow matching (FFM), a data-free procedure for training and fine-tuning flow policies in RL.

Key points

  • In maximum entropy and behavior-constrained reinforcement learning (RL), the optimal policy is given by a Boltzmann distribution.
  • We show that the optimal policy is a fixed point of this iteration.
  • Through extensive experiments, we demonstrate that FFM effectively fine-tunes pretrained flow policies in the offline-to-online setting and enables efficient and accurate training of flow policies from scratch in online RL.
  • These results establish fixed-point flow matching as a principled approach for learning expressive flow-based policies without requiring training data.
