[docs]class BasePolicy(ABC, nn.Module): """Tianshou aims to modularizing RL algorithms. It comes into several classes of policies in Tianshou. All of the policy classes must inherit :class:`~tianshou.policy.BasePolicy`. A policy class typically has four parts: * :meth:`~tianshou.policy.BasePolicy.__init__`: initialize the policy, \ including coping the target network and so on; * :meth:`~tianshou.policy.BasePolicy.forward`: compute action with given \ observation; * :meth:`~tianshou.policy.BasePolicy.process_fn`: pre-process data from \ the replay buffer (this function can interact with replay buffer); * :meth:`~tianshou.policy.BasePolicy.learn`: update policy with a given \ batch of data. Most of the policy needs a neural network to predict the action and an optimizer to optimize the policy. The rules of self-defined networks are: 1. Input: observation ``obs`` (may be a ``numpy.ndarray`` or \ ``torch.Tensor``), hidden state ``state`` (for RNN usage), and other \ information ``info`` provided by the environment. 2. Output: some ``logits`` and the next hidden state ``state``. The logits\ could be a tuple instead of a ``torch.Tensor``. It depends on how the \ policy process the network output. For example, in PPO, the return of \ the network might be ``(mu, sigma), state`` for Gaussian policy. Since :class:`~tianshou.policy.BasePolicy` inherits ``torch.nn.Module``, you can use :class:`~tianshou.policy.BasePolicy` almost the same as ``torch.nn.Module``, for instance, loading and saving the model: :: torch.save(policy.state_dict(), 'policy.pth') policy.load_state_dict(torch.load('policy.pth')) """ def __init__(self, **kwargs) -> None: super().__init__()

Other keys are user-defined. It depends on the algorithm. For example, :: # some code return Batch(logits=..., act=..., state=None, dist=...)
