This repository is the official implementation of Contrastive Active Inference (NeurIPS 2021).

If you find the code useful, please refer to our work using:

	year = {2021},

}

Create and activate a conda environment running:

conda create -n contrastive-aif python=3.8`
conda activate contrastive-aif

To install dependencies, run:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Note: for the experiments on the Deep Mind Control Suite, you will need a licensed copy of Mujoco and to install the dm_control package.

NOTE: new versions of dm_control automatically install Mujoco with free license. However, these haven't been tested.

To run experiments you can use one the following:

Minigrid:

python main.py --suite minigrid_pixels --task empty --config minigrid_empty_8x8 --algo contrastive_actinf --seed 34

Reacher:

python main.py --suite dmc --task reacher_easy_13 --config dmc_small dmc_benchmark --algo contrastive_actinf --seed 34

We would like to thank the authors of the following repositories for their useful open source code:
