Official implementation of the Lexa agent from the paper Discovering and Achieving Goals via World Models.

Setup

Create the conda environment by running :

conda env create -f environment.yml

Clone the lexa-benchmark repo, and modify the python path
export PYTHONPATH=<path to lexa-training>/lexa:<path to lexa-benchmark>

Export the following variables for rendering
export MUJOCO_RENDERER=egl; export MUJOCO_GL=egl

WARNING! Make sure to use the right python and mujoco version. The robobin environment code is known to break with other versions. Other environments might or might not work.

Training

First source the environment : source activate lexa

For training, run :

export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=<gpu_id>  
python train.py --configs defaults <method> --task <task> --logdir <log path>

where method can be lexa_temporal, lexa_cosine, ddl, diayn or gcsl
Supported tasks are dmc_walker_walk, dmc_quadruped_run, robobin, kitchen, joint

To view the graphs and gifs during training, run tensorboard --logdir <log path>
