Safe Flow Q-Learning: Offline Safe Reinforcement Learning with Reachability-Based Flow Policies

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2603.15136v1 Announce Type: cross Offline safe reinforcement learning (RL) seeks reward-maximizing policies from static datasets under strict safety constraints. Existing methods often rely on soft expected-cost objectives or iterative generative inference, which can be insufficient for safety-critical real-time control. We propose Safe Flow Q-Learning (SafeFQL), which extends FQL to safe offline RL by combining a Hamilton--Jacobi reachability-inspired safety value function with an efficient one-step flow policy.
