将构建一个可以通过强化学习学会玩游戏的神经网络。具体而言,将使用 Q-学习训练智能体玩一个叫做 Cart-Pole 的游戏。在此游戏中,小车上有一个可以自由摆动的杆子。小车可以向左和向右移动,目标是尽量长时间地使杆子保持笔直。

import gym
import numpy as np
# Create the Cart-Pole game environment
env = gym.make('CartPole-v1')
# Number of possible actions
print('Number of possible actions:', env.action_space.n)
通过 env
与模拟环境互动。可以通过 env.action_space.n
查看有多少潜在的动作,并且使用 env.action_space.sample()
获得随机动作。向 env.step
传入动作(用整数表示)将生成模拟环境的下一个步骤。所有 Gym 游戏基本都是这样。
在 Cart-Pole 游戏中有两个潜在动作,即使小车向左或向右移动。因此可以采取两种动作,分别表示为 0 和 1。
运行以下代码以与环境互动。
actions = [] # actions that the agent selects
rewards = [] # obtained rewards
state = env.reset()
while True:
action = env.action_space.sample() # choose a random action
state, reward, done, _ = env.step(action)
rewards.append(reward)
actions.append(action)
if done:
break
可以查看动作和奖励:
print('Actions:', actions)
print('Rewards:', rewards)
当杆子倾斜角度超过特定的角度之后,游戏就会重置。当游戏还在运行时,在每一步都会返回奖励 1.0。游戏运行时间越久,获得的奖励就越多。网络的目标是通过使杆子保持垂直状态最大化奖励。为此,它将使小车向左和向右移动。
Q-网络
对于这个 Cart-Pole 游戏,状态有四个值:小车的位置和速度,杆子的位置和速度。因此,该神经网络有四个输入(状态中的每个值对应一个输入)和两个输出(每个潜在动作对应一个输出)。
为了实现训练目标,首先将利用状态 s 提供的背景信息选择动作 a,然后使用该动作模拟游戏。这样将会获得下个状态 s′ 以及奖励 r。这样我们就可以计算 。然后,我们通过最小化
更新权重。
下面是 Q 网络的一种实现。它使用两个包含 ReLU 激活函数的完全连接层。
import tensorflow as tf
class QNetwork:
def __init__(self, learning_rate=0.01, state_size=4,
action_size=2, hidden_size=10,
name='QNetwork'):
# state inputs to the Q-network
with tf.variable_scope(name):
self.inputs_ = tf.placeholder(tf.float32, [None, state_size], name='inputs')
# One hot encode the actions to later choose the Q-value for the action
self.actions_ = tf.placeholder(tf.int32, [None], name='actions')
one_hot_actions = tf.one_hot(self.actions_, action_size)
# Target Q values for training
self.targetQs_ = tf.placeholder(tf.float32, [None], name='target')
# ReLU hidden layers
self.fc1 = tf.contrib.layers.fully_connected(self.inputs_, hidden_size)
self.fc2 = tf.contrib.layers.fully_connected(self.fc1, hidden_size)
# Linear output layer
self.output = tf.contrib.layers.fully_connected(self.fc2, action_size,
activation_fn=None)
### Train with loss (targetQ - Q)^2
# output has length 2, for two actions. This next line chooses
# one value from output (per row) according to the one-hot encoded actions.
self.Q = tf.reduce_sum(tf.multiply(self.output, one_hot_actions), axis=1)
self.loss = tf.reduce_mean(tf.square(self.targetQs_ - self.Q))
self.opt = tf.train.AdamOptimizer(learning_rate).minimize(self.loss)
经验回放
强化学习算法可能会因为状态之间存在关联性而出现稳定性问题。为了在训练期间减少关联性,可以存储智能体的经验,稍后从这些经验中随机抽取一个小批量经验进行训练。
在以下代码单元格中,将创建一个 Memory
对象来存储我们的经验,即转换 <s,a,r,s′>。该存储器将设有最大容量,以便保留更新的经验并删除旧的经验。然后,将随机抽取一个小批次转换 <s,a,r,s′> 并用它来训练智能体。
下面实现了 Memory
对象。如果不熟悉 deque
,其实它是一个双端队列。可以将其看做在两端都有开口的管子。可以从任何一端放入物体。但是如果放满了,再添加物体的话将使物体从另一端被挤出。这是一种非常适合内存缓冲区的数据结构。
from collections import deque
class Memory():
def __init__(self, max_size=1000):
self.buffer = deque(maxlen=max_size)
def add(self, experience):
self.buffer.append(experience)
def sample(self, batch_size):
idx = np.random.choice(np.arange(len(self.buffer)),
size=batch_size,
replace=False)
return [self.buffer[ii] for ii in idx]
Q-学习训练算法
将使用以下算法训练网络。对于此游戏,目标是使杆子在 195 帧内都保持垂直状态。因此当满足该目标后,可以开始新的阶段。如果杆子倾斜角度太大,或者小车向左或向右移动幅度太大,则游戏结束。当游戏结束后,可以开始新的阶段。现在,为了训练智能体:
- 初始化存储器 D
- 使用随机权重初始化动作值网络 Q
- 对于阶段 ←1 到** M,执行**以下操作
- 观察 s0
- 对于 t←0到** T−1,执行**以下操作
- 对于概率 ϵ,选择随机动作
,否则选择
- 在模拟器中执行动作
,并观察奖励
和新状态
- 将转换
存储在存储器 D 中
- 从 D:
中随机抽取小批量经验
- 如果阶段在 j+1 时结束,设为
,否则设为
- 创建梯度下降步骤,损失为
- 对于概率 ϵ,选择随机动作
- endfor
- endfor
超参数
对于强化学习,比较难的一个方面是超参数很大。不仅要调整网络,还要调整模拟环境。
train_episodes = 1000 # max number of episodes to learn from
max_steps = 200 # max steps in an episode
gamma = 0.99 # future reward discount
# Exploration parameters
explore_start = 1.0 # exploration probability at start
explore_stop = 0.01 # minimum exploration probability
decay_rate = 0.0001 # exponential decay rate for exploration prob
# Network parameters
hidden_size = 64 # number of units in each Q-network hidden layer
learning_rate = 0.0001 # Q-network learning rate
# Memory parameters
memory_size = 10000 # memory capacity
batch_size = 20 # experience mini-batch size
pretrain_length = batch_size # number experiences to pretrain the memory
tf.reset_default_graph()
mainQN = QNetwork(name='main', hidden_size=hidden_size, learning_rate=learning_rate)
填充经验存储器
在下面重新初始化了模拟环境并提前填充了存储器。智能体正在采取随机动作,并将转换存储在存储器中。这样可以帮助智能体探索该游戏。
# Initialize the simulation
env.reset()
# Take one random step to get the pole and cart moving
state, reward, done, _ = env.step(env.action_space.sample())
memory = Memory(max_size=memory_size)
# Make a bunch of random actions and store the experiences
for ii in range(pretrain_length):
# Make a random action
action = env.action_space.sample()
next_state, reward, done, _ = env.step(action)
if done:
# The simulation fails so no next state
next_state = np.zeros(state.shape)
# Add experience to memory
memory.add((state, action, reward, next_state))
# Start new episode
env.reset()
# Take one random step to get the pole and cart moving
state, reward, done, _ = env.step(env.action_space.sample())
else:
# Add experience to memory
memory.add((state, action, reward, next_state))
state = next_state
训练
# Now train with experiences
saver = tf.train.Saver()
rewards_list = []
with tf.Session() as sess:
# Initialize variables
sess.run(tf.global_variables_initializer())
step = 0
for ep in range(1, train_episodes):
total_reward = 0
t = 0
while t < max_steps:
step += 1
# Uncomment this next line to watch the training
env.render()
# Explore or Exploit
explore_p = explore_stop + (explore_start - explore_stop)*np.exp(-decay_rate*step)
if explore_p > np.random.rand():
# Make a random action
action = env.action_space.sample()
else:
# Get action from Q-network
feed = {mainQN.inputs_: state.reshape((1, *state.shape))}
Qs = sess.run(mainQN.output, feed_dict=feed)
action = np.argmax(Qs)
# Take action, get new state and reward
next_state, reward, done, _ = env.step(action)
total_reward += reward
if done:
# the episode ends so no next state
next_state = np.zeros(state.shape)
t = max_steps
print('Episode: {}'.format(ep),
'Total reward: {}'.format(total_reward),
'Training loss: {:.4f}'.format(loss),
'Explore P: {:.4f}'.format(explore_p))
rewards_list.append((ep, total_reward))
# Add experience to memory
memory.add((state, action, reward, next_state))
# Start new episode
env.reset()
# Take one random step to get the pole and cart moving
state, reward, done, _ = env.step(env.action_space.sample())
else:
# Add experience to memory
memory.add((state, action, reward, next_state))
state = next_state
t += 1
# Sample mini-batch from memory
batch = memory.sample(batch_size)
states = np.array([each[0] for each in batch])
actions = np.array([each[1] for each in batch])
rewards = np.array([each[2] for each in batch])
next_states = np.array([each[3] for each in batch])
# Train network
target_Qs = sess.run(mainQN.output, feed_dict={mainQN.inputs_: next_states})
# Set target_Qs to 0 for states where episode ends
episode_ends = (next_states == np.zeros(states[0].shape)).all(axis=1)
target_Qs[episode_ends] = (0, 0)
targets = rewards + gamma * np.max(target_Qs, axis=1)
loss, _ = sess.run([mainQN.loss, mainQN.opt],
feed_dict={mainQN.inputs_: states,
mainQN.targetQs_: targets,
mainQN.actions_: actions})
saver.save(sess, "checkpoints/cartpole.ckpt")
