The combination of Reinforcement Learning and Deep Learning produces a series of important algorithms. This project will focus on referring to relevant papers and implementing relevant algorithms as far as possible.

This repo aims to implement Deep Reinforcement Learning algorithms using Pytorch and Tensorflow 2.

• Implementing all of this algorithms from scratch really helps you with your parameter tuning;
• The coding process allows you to better understand the principles of the algorithm.

Value based algorithms include DQNs.

• Python >=3.6
• Tensorflow >= 2.4.0
• Pytorch >= 1.5.0
• Seaborn >= 0.10.0
• Click >= 7.0

Full dependencies are listed in the requirements.txt file, install with pip:

pip install -r requirements.txt

You can install the project by typing the following command:

python install -e .

Each algorithm is implemented in a single folder including 4 files:

1. main.py # A minimal executable example for algorithm  

2. [algorithm].py # Main body for algorithm implementation  

3. [algorithm]_step.py # Algorithm update core step 

4. test.py # Loading pretrained model and test performance of the algorithm

The default main.py is a an executable example, the parameters are parsed by click.

You can run algorithm from the main.py or bash scripts.

• You can simply type python main.py --help in the algorithm package to view all configurable parameters.
• The directory Scripts gives some bash scripts, you can modify them at will.

Utils/plot_util.py provide a simple plot tool based on Seaborn and Matplotlib. All the plots in this project are drawn by this plot util.

Currently only VPG, PPO and TRPO Available:
