Abstract
Safe offline reinforcement learning aims to learn policies that maximize cumulative rewards while adhering to safety constraints, using only offline data for training. A key challenge is balancing safety and performance, particularly when the policy encounters out-of-distribution (OOD) states and actions, which can lead to safety violations or overly conservative behavior during deployment. To address these challenges, we introduce Feasibility Informed Advantage Weighted Actor-Critic (FAWAC), a method that prioritizes persistent safety in constrained Markov decision processes (CMDPs). FAWAC formulates policy optimization with feasibility conditions derived specifically for offline datasets, enabling safe policy updates in non-parametric policy space, followed by projection into parametric space for constrained actor training. By incorporating a cost-advantage term into Advantage Weighted Regression (AWR), FAWAC ensures that the safety constraints are respected while maximizing performa
