Reinforcement learning algorithms in RLlib and PyTorch.

Reinforcement learning algorithms in RLlib and PyTorch.

Introduction

Raylab provides agents and environments to be used with a normal RLlib/Tune setup.

import ray
from ray import tune
import raylab

def main():
    raylab.register_all_agents()
    raylab.register_all_environments()
    ray.init()
    tune.run(
        "NAF",
        local_dir=...,
        stop={"timesteps_total": 100000},
        config={
            "env": "CartPoleSwingUp-v0",
            "exploration_config": {
                "type": tune.grid_search([
                    "raylab.utils.exploration.GaussianNoise",
                    "raylab.utils.exploration.ParameterNoise"
                ])
            }
            ...
        },
    )

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

One can then visualize the results using raylab dashboard

Installation

pip install raylab
