We consider the problem of efficient credit assignment in reinforcement learning. In order to efficiently and meaningfully utilize new data, we propose to explicitly assign credit to past decisions based on the likelihood of them having led to the observed outcome. This approach uses new information in hindsight, rather than employing foresight. Somewhat surprisingly, we show that value functions can be rewritten through this lens, yielding a new family of algorithms. We study the properties of these algorithms, and empirically show that they successfully address important credit assignment challenges, through a set of illustrative tasks.

Decision Transformer: Reinforcement Learning via Sequence Modeling
Decision Transformer casts RL as autoregressive sequence modeling conditioned on desired returns, past states and actions, matching or exceeding offline RL baselines on Atari, Gym and Key-to-Door tasks.
