            Using BatchedPyEnvironment in tf_agents
            Asked 2022-Feb-19 at 18:11

            I am trying to create a batched environment version of an SAC agent example from the Tensorflow Agents library, the original code can be found here. I am also using a custom environment.

            I am pursuing a batched environment setup in order to better leverage GPU resources in order to speed up training. My understanding is that by passing batches of trajectories to the GPU, there will be less overhead incurred when passing data from the host (CPU) to the device (GPU).

            My custom environment is called SacEnv, and I attempt to create a batched environment like so:

            Reinforcement Learning - Custom environment implementation in Java for Python RL framework
            Asked 2021-Sep-20 at 09:13

            I have a bunch of Java code that constitutes an environment and an agent. I want to use one of the Python reinforcement learning libraries (stable-baselines, tf-agents, rllib, etc.) to train a policy for the Java agent/environment. And then deploy the policy on the Java side for production. Is there standard practice for incorporating other languages into Python RL libraries? I was thinking of one of the following solutions:

            1. Wrap Java env/agent code into REST API, and implement custom environment in Python that calls that API to step through the environment.
            2. Use Py4j to invoke Java from Python and implement custom environment.

            Which one would be better? Are there any other ways?

            Edit: I ended up going the former - deploying a web server that encapsulates the environments. works quite well for me. Leaving the question open in case there is a better practice to handle this kind of situations!

            The first approach is fine. RLLib implemented it the same way for the PolicyServerInput. Which is used for external Envs. https://github.com/ray-project/ray/blob/82465f9342cf05d86880e7542ffa37676c2b7c4f/rllib/env/policy_server_input.py

            So take a look into their implementation. It uses Python data serialization, so I guess an own impl would be best to connect to Java.

            Looking at the Tensorflow DQN Agent documentation you hand a q-network to the agent at creation time. This get saved as an instance variable with the name _q_network and can be accessed with agent._q_network. To quote the documentation:

            The network will be called with call(observation, step_type) and should emit logits over the action space.

            Those logits are your respective state action values.

            QUESTION

            Can a tf-agents environment be defined with an unobservable exogenous state?
            Asked 2021-Jan-13 at 08:17

            I apologize in advance for the question in the title not being very clear. I'm trying to train a reinforcement learning policy using tf-agents in which there exists some unobservable stochastic variable that affects the state.

            For example, consider the standard CartPole problem, but we add wind where the velocity changes over time. I don't want to train an agent that relies on having observed the wind velocity at each step; I instead want the wind to affect the position and angular velocity of the pole, and the agent to learn to adapt just as it would in the wind-free environment. In this example however, we would need the wind velocity at the current time to be correlated with the wind velocity at the previous time e.g. we wouldn't want the wind velocity to change from 10m/s at time t to -10m/s at time t+1.

            The problem I'm trying to solve is how to track the state of the exogenous variable without making it part of the observation spec that gets fed into the neural network when training the agent. Any guidance would be appreciated.

            Yes, that is no problem at all. Your environment object (a subclass of PyEnvironment or TFEnvironment) can do whatever you want within it. The observation_spec requirement is only related to the TimeStep that you output in the step and reset methods (more precisely in your implementation of the _step and _reset abstract methods).

            Your environment however is completely free to have any additional attributes that you might want (like parameters to control wind generation) and any number of additional methods you like (like methods to generate the wind at this timestep according to self._wind_hyper_params). A quick schematic of your code would look like is below:

            TFAgents: how to take into account invalid actions
            Asked 2020-Dec-13 at 12:39

            I'm using TF-Agents library for reinforcement learning, and I would like to take into account that, for a given state, some actions are invalid.

            How can this be implemented?

            Should I define a "observation_and_action_constraint_splitter" function when creating the DqnAgent?

            If yes: do you know any tutorial on this?

            ...

            ANSWER

            Answered 2020-Dec-13 at 12:39

            Yes you need to define the function, pass it to the agent and also appropriately change the environment output so that the function can work with it. I am not aware on any tutorials on this, however you can look at this repo I have been working on.

            Note that it is very messy and a lot of the files in there actually are not being used and the docstrings are terrible and often wrong (I forked this and didn't bother to sort everything out). However it is definetly working correctly. The parts that are relevant to your question are:

            • rl_env.py in the HanabiEnv.__init__ where the _observation_spec is defined as a dictionary of ArraySpecs (here). You can ignore game_obs, hand_obs and knowledge_obs which are used to run the environment verbosely, they are not fed to the agent.

            • rl_env.py in the HanabiEnv._reset at line 110 gives an idea of how the timestep observations are constructed and returned from the environment. legal_moves are passed through a np.logical_not since my specific environment marks legal_moves with 0 and illegal ones with -inf; whilst TF-Agents expects a 1/True for a legal move. My vector when cast to bool would therefore result in the exact opposite of what it should be for TF-agents.

            • These observations will then be fed to the observation_and_action_constraint_splitter in utility.py (here) where a tuple containing the observations and the action constraints is returned. Note that game_obs, hand_obs and knowledge_obs are implicitly thrown away (and not fed to the agent as previosuly mentioned.

            • Finally this observation_and_action_constraint_splitter is fed to the agent in utility.py in the create_agent function at line 198 for example.
