英文摘要 (Abstract)
Large language models (LLMs) have recently demonstrated promising capabilities as in-context policy optimizers for Reinforcement Learning (RL), enabling policy search driven by both numerical reward signals and natural language reasoning. However, deploying such methods in practice requires transmitting raw policy parameters and rewards history to cloud-based LLM APIs, exposing proprietary control strategies to third-party service providers. To address this issue, this paper introduces Privacy-Preserving Prompted Policy Search (PP-ProPS), a framework that enables LLM-guided policy optimization while keeping policy and environmental parameters confidential. PP-ProPS encodes policy parameters and reward values using secret client-side transformations before they are included in each API request, ensuring that the LLM provider observes only encoded policy parameters and scaled reward information. Furthermore, unlike Vanilla ProPS, the proposed framework does not require the true optimal episodic return to be known or disclosed to the LLM. Beyond protecting the optimization data, PP-ProPS improves the search process in two ways. First, it provides the LLM with individual reward components instead of only a single total return, offering more informative feedback about each candidate policy. Second, it uses a bounded history that prevents the prompt from growing indefinitely, improving search with high-dimensional policies and supporting the use of open-weight LLMs. The proposed PP-ProPS is evaluated on both continuous and discrete control problems spanning Multi-Joint dynamics with Contact (MuJoCo) locomotion, classic control, highway driving, and robotic arm manipulation. Compared to Vanilla ProPS, the proposed PP-ProPS outperforms ProPS in seven of the ten evaluated tasks, and surpasses conventional RL methods including PPO, SAC, and TRPO, in five of the six tasks.
