Implementation of Implicit Quantile Network. arXiv:1806.06923.

Parameters:

  • model – a model following the rules (s_B -> action_values_BA)

  • optim – a torch.optim for optimizing the model.

  • discount_factor – in [0, 1].

  • sample_size – the number of samples for policy evaluation.

  • online_sample_size – the number of samples for online model in training.

  • target_sample_size – the number of samples for target model in training.

  • num_quantiles – the number of quantile midpoints in the inverse cumulative distribution function of the value.

  • estimation_step – the number of steps to look ahead.

  • target_update_freq – the target network update frequency (0 if you do not use the target network).

  • reward_normalization – normalize the returns to Normal(0, 1). TODO: rename to return_normalization?

  • is_double – use double dqn.

  • clip_loss_grad – clip the gradient of the loss in accordance with nature14236; this amounts to using the Huber loss instead of the MSE loss.

  • observation_space – Env’s observation space.

  • lr_scheduler –

    if not None, will be called in policy.update().

    Please refer to QRDQNPolicy for more detailed explanation.

forward(batch: ObsBatchProtocol, state: dict | BatchProtocol | ndarray | None = None, model: Literal['model', 'model_old'] = 'model', **kwargs: Any) → QuantileRegressionBatchProtocol[source]#

Compute action over the given batch data.

If you need to mask the action, please add a “mask” into batch.obs, for example, if we have an environment that has “0/1/2” three actions:

batch == Batch(
    obs=Batch(
        obs="original obs, with batch_size=1 for demonstration",
        mask=np.array([[False, True, False]]),
        # action 1 is available
        # action 0 and 2 are unavailable
    ),
    ...
)
Returns:

A Batch which has 3 keys:

  • act the action.

  • logits the network’s raw output.

  • state the hidden state.

learn(batch: RolloutBatchProtocol, *args: Any, **kwargs: Any) → TIQNTrainingStats[source]#

Update policy with a given batch of data.

Returns:

A dataclass object, including the data needed to be logged (e.g., loss).

Note

In order to distinguish the collecting state, updating state and testing state, you can check the policy state by self.training and self.updating. Please refer to States for policy for more detailed explanation.

Warning

If you use torch.distributions.Normal and torch.distributions.Categorical to calculate the log_prob, please be careful about the shape: Categorical distribution gives “[batch_size]” shape while Normal distribution gives “[batch_size, 1]” shape. The auto-broadcasting of numerical operation with torch tensors will amplify this error.
