kandi X-RAY | AlphaDraughts Summary

AlphaDraughts is a Python library typically used in Artificial Intelligence, Reinforcement Learning, Deep Learning, Pytorch, Tensorflow applications. AlphaDraughts has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has build file available, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

AlphaDraughts is a PyTorch implementation of AlphaGo Zero applied to the game of Draughts. Draughts, or Checkers, is a far easier game to solve compared to Go, and even to Chess: it has an 8x8 playing board, but only two types of pieces. Additionally, Draughts has been weakly solved. This means that Draughts should present less of a burden to train than AlphaGo (although just how much less is to be determined). The board game has been implemented. The AI is to follow.

            What are vectorized environments in reinforcement learning?
            Asked 2022-Mar-25 at 10:37

            I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around what and when vectorized environments should be used. If you can provide an example of a use case, that would be great.

            ANSWER

            Answered 2022-Mar-25 at 10:37

            Vectorized Environments are a method for stacking multiple independent environments into a single environment. Instead of executing and training an agent on 1 environment per step, it allows to train the agent on multiple environments per step.

            Usually you also want these environment to have different seeds, in order to gain more diverse experience. This is very useful to speed up training.

            I think they are called "vectorized" since each training step the agent observes multiple states (inserted in a vector), outputs multiple actions (one for each environment), which are inserted in a vector, and receives multiple rewards. Hence the "vectorized" term

            How does a gradient backpropagates through random samples?

            I'm learning about policy gradients and I'm having hard time understanding how does the gradient passes through a random operation. From here: It is not possible to directly backpropagate through random samples. However, there are two main methods for creating surrogate functions that can be backpropagated through.

            It is indeed true that sampling is not a differentiable operation per se. However, there exist two (broad) ways to mitigate this - [1] The REINFORCE way and [2] The reparameterization way. Since your example is related to [1], I will stick my answer to REINFORCE.

            What REINFORCE does is it entirely gets rid of sampling operation in the computation graph. However, the sampling operation remains outside the graph. So, your statement

            Relationship of Horizon and Discount factor in Reinforcement Learning
            Asked 2022-Mar-13 at 17:50

            What is the connection between discount factor gamma and horizon in RL.

            What I have learned so far is that the horizon is the agent`s time to live. Intuitively, agents with finite horizon will choose actions differently than if it has to live forever. In the latter case, the agent will try to maximize all the expected rewards it may get far in the future.

            But the idea of the discount factor is also the same. Are the values of gamma near zero makes the horizon finite?

            ...

            ANSWER

            Answered 2022-Mar-13 at 17:50

            Horizon refers to how many steps into the future the agent cares about the reward it can receive, which is a little different from the agent's time to live. In general, you could potentially define any arbitrary horizon you want as the objective. You could define a 10 step horizon, in which the agent makes a decision that will enable it to maximize the reward it will receive in the next 10 time steps. Or we could choose a 100, or 1000, or n step horizon!

            Usually, the n-step horizon is defined using n = 1 / (1-gamma). Therefore, 10 step horizon will be achieved using gamma = 0.9, while 100 step horizon can be achieved with gamma = 0.99

            Therefore, any value of gamma less than 1 imply that the horizon is finite.

            As we talked about in the comments, it seems that the Keras-rl library is no longer supported (the last update in the repository was in 2019), so it's possible that everything is inside Keras now. I take a look at Keras documentation and there are no high-level functions to build a reinforcement learning model, but is possible to use lower-level functions to this.

            • Here is an example of how to use Deep Q-Learning with Keras: link

            Another solution may be to downgrade to Tensorflow 1.0 as it seems the compatibility problem occurs due to some changes in version 2.0. I didn't test, but maybe the Keras-rl + Tensorflow 1.0 may work.

            There is also a branch of Keras-rl to support Tensorflow 2.0, the repository is archived, but there is a chance that it will work for you

            ANSWER

            Answered 2021-Dec-23 at 11:07

            Essentially, what happens here is that the output of the net is being sliced to get the desired part of the Q table.

            The (somewhat confusing) index of [np.arange(0, self.batch_size), action] indexes each axis. So, for axis with index 1, we pick the item indicated by action. For index 0, we pick all items between 0 and self.batch_size.

            If self.batch_size is the same as the length of dimension 0 of this array, then this slice can be simplified to [:, action] which is probably more familiar to most users.

            DQN predicts same action value for every state (cart pole)
            Asked 2021-Dec-22 at 15:55

            I'm trying to implement a DQN. As a warm up I want to solve CartPole-v0 with a MLP consisting of two hidden layers along with input and output layers. The input is a 4 element array [cart position, cart velocity, pole angle, pole angular velocity] and output is an action value for each action (left or right). I am not exactly implementing a DQN from the "Playing Atari with DRL" paper (no frame stacking for inputs etc). I also made a few non standard choices like putting done and the target network prediction of action value in the experience replay, but those choices shouldn't affect learning.

            In any case I'm having a lot of trouble getting the thing to work. No matter how long I train the agent it keeps predicting a higher value for one action over another, for example Q(s, Right)> Q(s, Left) for all states s. Below is my learning code, my network definition, and some results I get from training

            ...

            ANSWER

            Answered 2021-Dec-19 at 16:09

            There was nothing wrong with the network definition. It turns out the learning rate was too high and reducing it 0.00025 (as in the original Nature paper introducing the DQN) led to an agent which can solve CartPole-v0.

            That said, the learning algorithm was incorrect. In particular I was using the wrong target action-value predictions. Note the algorithm laid out above does not use the most recent version of the target network to make predictions. This leads to poor results as training progresses because the agent is learning based on stale target data. The way to fix this is to just put (s, a, r, s', done) into the replay memory and then make target predictions using the most up to date version of the target network when sampling a mini batch. See the code below for an updated learning loop.
