RetireOPD: Self-Retiring On-Policy Distillation for Agentic Reinforcement Learning

The paper introduces RetireOPD, a method for agentic reinforcement learning that uses self-retiring on-policy distillation. It optimizes a skill-conditioned teacher with environment rewards and trains a skill-free student with RL and OPD, allowing the student to stop using the teacher when performance stabilizes. RetireOPD improves success rates in ALFWorld and WebShop tasks compared to a baseline RL approach.

Real observations only. History before source connection is not reconstructed.

WHY IT MAY MATTER

RetireOPD allows the student agent to autonomously stop using the teacher once it reaches a stable performance level, potentially reducing reliance on external supervision in reinforcement learning tasks.
