d3rlpy.algos.DoubleDQN

class d3rlpy.algos.DoubleDQN(learning_rate=6.25e-05, batch_size=32, n_frames=1, gamma=0.99, n_critics=1, bootstrap=False, share_encoder=False, eps=0.00015, target_update_interval=8000.0, use_batch_norm=True, q_func_type='mean', n_epochs=1000, use_gpu=False, scaler=None, augmentation=[], n_augmentations=1, encoder_params={}, dynamics=None, impl=None, **kwargs)[source]

Double Deep Q-Network algorithm.

The difference from DQN is that the action is taken from the current Q function instead of the target Q function. This modification significantly decreases overestimation bias of TD learning.

\[L(\theta) = \mathbb{E}_{s_t, a_t, r_{t+1}, s_{t+1} \sim D} [(r_{t+1} + \gamma Q_{\theta'}(s_{t+1}, \text{argmax}_a Q_\theta(s_{t+1}, a)) - Q_\theta(s_t, a_t))^2]\]

where \(\theta'\) is the target network parameter. The target network parameter is synchronized every target_update_interval iterations.

Methods

create_impl(observation_shape, action_size)[source]

Instantiate implementation objects with the dataset shapes.

This method will be used internally when fit method is called.

Parameters:
  • observation_shape (tuple) – observation shape.
  • action_size (int) – dimension of action-space.
fit(episodes, experiment_name=None, with_timestamp=True, logdir='d3rlpy_logs', verbose=True, show_progress=True, tensorboard=True, eval_episodes=None, save_interval=1, scorers=None)

Trains with the given dataset.

algo.fit(episodes)
Parameters:
  • episodes (list(d3rlpy.dataset.Episode)) – list of episodes to train.
  • experiment_name (str) – experiment name for logging. If not passed, the directory name will be {class name}_{timestamp}.
  • with_timestamp (bool) – flag to add timestamp string to the last of directory name.
  • logdir (str) – root directory name to save logs.
  • verbose (bool) – flag to show logged information on stdout.
  • show_progress (bool) – flag to show progress bar for iterations.
  • tensorboard (bool) – flag to save logged information in tensorboard (additional to the csv data)
  • eval_episodes (list(d3rlpy.dataset.Episode)) – list of episodes to test.
  • save_interval (int) – interval to save parameters.
  • scorers (list(callable)) – list of scorer functions used with eval_episodes.
classmethod from_json(fname, use_gpu=False)

Returns algorithm configured with json file.

The Json file should be the one saved during fitting.

from d3rlpy.algos import Algo

# create algorithm with saved configuration
algo = Algo.from_json('d3rlpy_logs/<path-to-json>/params.json')

# ready to load
algo.load_model('d3rlpy_logs/<path-to-model>/model_100.pt')

# ready to predict
algo.predict(...)
Parameters:
  • fname (str) – file path to params.json.
  • use_gpu (bool, int or d3rlpy.gpu.Device) – flag to use GPU, device ID or device.
Returns:

algorithm.
Return type:

d3rlpy.base.LearnableBase
get_params(deep=True)

Returns the all attributes.

This method returns the all attributes including ones in subclasses. Some of scikit-learn utilities will use this method.

params = algo.get_params(deep=True)

# the returned values can be used to instantiate the new object.
algo2 = AlgoBase(**params)
Parameters:deep (bool) – flag to deeply copy objects such as impl.
Returns:attribute values in dictionary.
Return type:dict
load_model(fname)

Load neural network parameters.

algo.load_model('model.pt')
Parameters:fname (str) – source file path.
predict(x)

Returns greedy actions.

# 100 observations with shape of (10,)
x = np.random.random((100, 10))

actions = algo.predict(x)
# actions.shape == (100, action size) for continuous control
# actions.shape == (100,) for discrete control

Returns:greedy actions
Return type:numpy.ndarray
