Meta reinforcement learning aims to develop policies that generalize to unseen tasks sampled from a task distribution. While context-based meta-RL methods improve task representation using task latents, they often struggle with out-of-distribution (OOD) tasks. To address this, we propose Task-Aware Virtual Training (TAVT), a novel algorithm that accurately captures task characteristics for both training and OOD scenarios using metric-based representation learning. Our method successfully preserves task characteristics in virtual tasks and employs a state regularization technique to mitigate overestimation errors in state-varying environments. Numerical results demonstrate that TAVT significantly enhances generalization to OOD tasks across various MuJoCo and MetaWorld environments. Our code is available at https://github.com/JM-Kim-94/tavt.git.

Cross-domain offline reinforcement learning aims to adapt a policy from a source domain to a target domain using only pre-collected datasets, where environment dynamics may differ. A key challenge is to leverage source data while reducing distributional mismatch, particularly when the target dataset is extremely limited. To address this, we propose Target-aligned Coverage Expansion (TCE), a framework that decides how source data should be used, either by directly incorporating target-near transitions or by expanding state coverage through target-aligned generation, guided by theoretical analysis. TCE builds on a dual score-based generative model to synthesize target-consistent transitions over an expanded state region. Extensive experiments across diverse cross-domain environments show that TCE consistently outperforms state-of-the-art cross-domain offline RL baselines.

Imitation learning (IL) enables agents to mimic expert behavior without reward signals but faces challenges in cross-domain scenarios with high-dimensional, noisy, and incomplete visual observations. To address this, we propose Domain-Invariant Per-Frame Feature Extraction for Imitation Learning (DIFF-IL), a novel IL method that extracts domain-invariant features from individual frames and adapts them into sequences to isolate and replicate expert behaviors. We also introduce a frame-wise time labeling technique to segment expert behaviors by timesteps and assign rewards aligned with temporal contexts, enhancing task performance. Experiments across diverse visual environments demonstrate the effectiveness of DIFF-IL in addressing complex visual tasks.
