The authors identify persistent next-state prediction error as a signal that a Decision Transformer's rollout context has drifted beyond its offline training distribution.

The authors examined long evaluation rollouts from Decision Transformers trained on offline D4RL datasets.

In one line

Decision Transformer's long rollout failures stem from context drift detectable by next-state prediction error; TGDT filters contexts by this error to improve returns.
