Adaptive Coarse-to-Fine Subgoal Refinement for Long-Horizon Offline Goal-Conditioned Reinforcement Learning
Offline goal-conditioned reinforcement learning (GCRL) is challenging in long-horizon tasks, where distant state--goal pairs provide weak supervision and value estimates become vulnerable to accumulated bootstrapping errors. Hierarchical methods mitigate this difficulty by introducing intermediate subgoals, but fixed temporal abstractions or fixed hierarchy depths can be mismatched to state--goal pairs with different reachability horizons. We propose Coarse-to-Fine Hierarchical Goal Reinforcement Learning (CFHRL), a fully offline GCRL framework that adaptively refines distant goals before execution. Starting from the final goal, CFHRL recursively proposes intermediate targets, trained from replay-supported candidates, and stops refinement once the current target is estimated to be locally executable by a learned reachability cost. The key idea is that a subgoal need not be an exact midpoint or globally optimal waypoint; it only needs to provide reliable progress and reduce the remaining reaching difficulty, enabling subsequent refinement over shorter horizons. A stylized analysis further supports the robustness of approximate recursive contraction. Experiments on OGBench show substantial gains on several long-horizon tasks, with ablations validating the proposed refinement and stopping mechanisms
