Args:
env_fn : A function which creates a copy of the environment.
The environment must satisfy the OpenAI Gym API.
actor_critic: A function which takes in placeholder symbols
for state, ``x_ph``, and action, ``a_ph``, and returns the main
outputs from the agent's Tensorflow computation graph:
============ ================ ========================================
Symbol Shape Description
============ ================ ========================================
``pi`` (batch, act_dim) | Samples actions from policy given
| states.
``logp`` (batch,) | Gives log probability, according to
| the policy, of taking actions ``a_ph``
| in states ``x_ph``.
``logp_pi`` (batch,) | Gives log probability, according to
| the policy, of the action sampled by
| ``pi``.
``info`` N/A | A dict of any intermediate quantities
| (from calculating the policy or log
| probabilities) which are needed for
| analytically computing KL divergence.
| (eg sufficient statistics of the
| distributions)
``info_phs`` N/A | A dict of placeholders for old values
| of the entries in ``info``.
``d_kl`` () | A symbol for computing the mean KL
| divergence between the current policy
| (``pi``) and the old policy (as
| specified by the inputs to
| ``info_phs``) over the batch of
| states given in ``x_ph``.
``v`` (batch,) | Gives the value estimate for states
| in ``x_ph``. (Critical: make sure
| to flatten this!)
============ ================ ========================================
ac_kwargs (dict): Any kwargs appropriate for the actor_critic
function you provided to TRPO.
seed (int): Seed for random number generators.
steps_per_epoch (int): Number of steps of interaction (state-action pairs)
for the agent and the environment in each epoch.
epochs (int): Number of epochs of interaction (equivalent to
number of policy updates) to perform.
gamma (float): Discount factor. (Always between 0 and 1.)
delta (float): KL-divergence limit for TRPO / NPG update.
(Should be small for stability. Values like 0.01, 0.05.)
vf_lr (float): Learning rate for value function optimizer.
train_v_iters (int): Number of gradient descent steps to take on
value function per epoch.
damping_coeff (float): Artifact for numerical stability, should be
smallish. Adjusts Hessian-vector product calculation:
.. math:: Hv \\rightarrow (\\alpha I + H)v
where :math:`\\alpha` is the damping coefficient.
Probably don't play with this hyperparameter.
cg_iters (int): Number of iterations of conjugate gradient to perform.
Increasing this will lead to a more accurate approximation
to :math:`H^{-1} g`, and possibly slightly-improved performance,
but at the cost of slowing things down.
Also probably don't play with this hyperparameter.
backtrack_iters (int): Maximum number of steps allowed in the
backtracking line search. Since the line search usually doesn't
backtrack, and usually only steps back once when it does, this
hyperparameter doesn't often matter.
backtrack_coeff (float): How far back to step during backtracking line
search. (Always between 0 and 1, usually above 0.5.)
lam (float): Lambda for GAE-Lambda. (Always between 0 and 1,
close to 1.)
max_ep_len (int): Maximum length of trajectory / episode / rollout.
logger_kwargs (dict): Keyword args for EpochLogger.
save_freq (int): How often (in terms of gap between epochs) to save
the current policy and value function.
algo: Either 'trpo' or 'npg': this code supports both, since they are
almost the same.
