Yet Another Reinforcement Learning Library.

Status: development.

Why?

I had the need for a RL library/framework that:

• was clearly and simply implemented, with good enough performances;
• highly focused on modularity, customizability and extendability;
• wasn't merely Deep Reinforcement Learning oriented.

I couldn't find an existing library that satisfied my needs; hence I decided to implement yet another RL library.

For me it is also an opportunity to have a better understanding of the RL algorithms and to appreciate the nuances that you can't find on a book.

If you find this repo useful for your research or your project, I'd be very glad :-) don't hesitate to reach me out!

What

The package is both:

• a library, because it provides off-the-shelf functionalities to set up an RL experiment;
• a framework, because you can compose your custom model by implementing the interfaces, override the default behaviours, or use the existing components as-is.

You can find more details in the documentation.

Tests

To run tests: tox

To run only the code tests: tox -e py3.7

To run only the linters:

• tox -e flake8
• tox -e mypy
• tox -e black-check
• tox -e isort-check

Please look at the tox.ini file for the full list of supported commands.

Docs
