Is there any example for SAC for discrete

Tianshou (天授) is a reinforcement learning platform based on pure PyTorch and Gymnasium. Unlike other reinforcement learning libraries, which may have complex codebases, unfriendly high-level APIs, or are not optimized for speed, Tianshou provides a high-performance, modularized framework and user-friendly interfaces for building deep reinforcement learning agents. One more aspect that sets Tianshou apart is its generality: it supports online and offline RL, multi-agent RL, and model-based algorithms.

Tianshou aims at enabling concise implementations, both for researchers and practitioners, without sacrificing flexibility.

Supported algorithms include:

Other noteworthy features:

Elegant framework with dual APIs:
- Tianshou's high-level API maximizes ease of use for application development while still retaining a high degree of flexibility.
- The fundamental procedural API provides a maximum of flexibility for algorithm development without being overly verbose.
State-of-the-art results in MuJoCo benchmarks for REINFORCE/A2C/TRPO/PPO/DDPG/TD3/SAC algorithms
Support for vectorized environments (synchronous or asynchronous) for all algorithms (see usage)
Support for super-fast vectorized environments based on EnvPool for all algorithms (see usage)
Support for recurrent state representations in actor networks and critic networks (RNN-style training for POMDPs) (see usage)
Support any type of environment state/action (e.g. a dict, a self-defined class, ...) Usage
Support for customized training processes (see usage)
Support n-step returns estimation and prioritized experience replay for all Q-learning based algorithms; GAE, nstep and PER are highly optimized thanks to numba's just-in-time compilation and vectorized numpy operations
Support for multi-agent RL (see usage)
Support for logging based on both TensorBoard and W&B
Support for multi-GPU training (see usage)
Comprehensive documentation, PEP8 code-style checking, type checking and thorough tests

In Chinese, Tianshou means divinely ordained, being derived to the gift of being born. Tianshou is a reinforcement learning platform, and the nature of RL is not learn from humans. So taking "Tianshou" means that there is no teacher to learn from, but rather to learn by oneself through constant interaction with the environment.

“天授”意指上天所授，引申为与生具有的天赋。天授是强化学习平台，而强化学习算法并不是向人类学习的，所以取“天授”意思是没有老师来教，而是自己通过跟环境不断交互来进行学习。

Installation

Tianshou is currently hosted on PyPI and conda-forge. It requires Python >= 3.11.

For installing the most recent version of Tianshou, the best way is clone the repository and install it with poetry (which you need to install on your system first)

git clone [email protected]:thu-ml/tianshou.git
cd tianshou
poetry install

You can also install the dev requirements by adding --with dev or the extras for say mujoco and acceleration by envpool by adding --extras mujoco envpool

Available extras are:

atari (for Atari environments)
box2d (for Box2D environments)
classic_control (for classic control (discrete) environments)
mujoco (for MuJoCo environments)
mujoco-py (for legacy mujoco-py environments¹)
pybullet (for pybullet environments)
robotics (for gymnasium-robotics environments)
vizdoom (for ViZDoom environments)
envpool (for envpool integration)
argparse (in order to be able to run the high level API examples)

Otherwise, you can install the latest release from PyPI (currently far behind the master) with the following command:

$ pip install tianshou

If you are using Anaconda or Miniconda, you can install Tianshou from conda-forge:

$ conda install tianshou -c conda-forge

Alternatively to the poetry install, you can also install the latest source version through GitHub:

$ pip install git+https://github.com/thu-ml/tianshou.git@master --upgrade

Finally, you may check the installation via your Python console as follows:

import tianshou
print(tianshou.__version__)

If no errors are reported, you have successfully installed Tianshou.

Reproducible, High-Quality Results

Tianshou is rigorously tested. In contrast to other RL platforms, our tests include the full agent training procedure for all of the implemented algorithms. Our tests would fail once if any of the agents failed to achieve a consistent level of performance on limited epochs. Our tests thus ensure reproducibility. Check out the GitHub Actions page for more detail.

Atari and MuJoCo benchmark results can be found in the examples/atari/ and examples/mujoco/ folders respectively. Our MuJoCo results reach or exceed the level of performance of most existing benchmarks.

Policy Interface

All algorithms implement the following, highly general API:

__init__: initialize the policy;
forward: compute actions based on given observations;
process_buffer: process initial buffer, which is useful for some offline learning algorithms
process_fn: preprocess data from the replay buffer (since we have reformulated all algorithms to replay buffer-based algorithms);
learn: learn from a given batch of data;
post_process_fn: update the replay buffer from the learning process (e.g., prioritized replay buffer needs to update the weight);
update: the main interface for training, i.e., process_fn -> learn -> post_process_fn.

The implementation of this API suffices for a new algorithm to be applicable within Tianshou, making experimenation with new approaches particularly straightforward.

Quick Start

Tianshou provides two API levels:

the high-level interface, which provides ease of use for end users seeking to run deep reinforcement learning applications
the procedural interface, which provides a maximum of control, especially for very advanced users and developers of reinforcement learning algorithms.

In the following, let us consider an example application using the CartPole gymnasium environment. We shall apply the deep Q network (DQN) learning algorithm using both APIs.

High-Level API

To get started, we need some imports.

from tianshou.highlevel.config import SamplingConfig
from tianshou.highlevel.env import (
    EnvFactoryRegistered,
    VectorEnvType,
)
from tianshou.highlevel.experiment import DQNExperimentBuilder, ExperimentConfig
from tianshou.highlevel.params.policy_params import DQNParams
from tianshou.highlevel.trainer import (
    EpochTestCallbackDQNSetEps,
    EpochTrainCallbackDQNSetEps,
    EpochStopCallbackRewardThreshold
)

In the high-level API, the basis for an RL experiment is an ExperimentBuilder with which we can build the experiment we then seek to run. Since we want to use DQN, we use the specialization DQNExperimentBuilder. The other imports serve to provide configuration options for our experiment.

The high-level API provides largely declarative semantics, i.e. the code is almost exclusively concerned with configuration that controls what to do (rather than how to do it).

experiment = (
    DQNExperimentBuilder(
        EnvFactoryRegistered(task="CartPole-v1", seed=0, venv_type=VectorEnvType.DUMMY),
        ExperimentConfig(
            persistence_enabled=False,
            watch=True,
            watch_render=1 / 35,
            watch_num_episodes=100,
        ),
        SamplingConfig(
            num_epochs=10,
            step_per_epoch=10000,
            batch_size=64,
            num_train_envs=10,
            num_test_envs=100,
            buffer_size=20000,
            step_per_collect=10,
            update_per_step=1 / 10,
        ),
    )
    .with_dqn_params(
        DQNParams(
            lr=1e-3,
            discount_factor=0.9,
            estimation_step=3,
            target_update_freq=320,
        ),
    )
    .with_model_factory_default(hidden_sizes=(64, 64))
    .with_epoch_train_callback(EpochTrainCallbackDQNSetEps(0.3))
    .with_epoch_test_callback(EpochTestCallbackDQNSetEps(0.0))
    .with_epoch_stop_callback(EpochStopCallbackRewardThreshold(195))
    .build()
)
experiment.run()

The experiment builder takes three arguments:

the environment factory for the creation of environments. In this case, we use an existing factory implementation for gymnasium environments.
the experiment configuration, which controls persistence and the overall experiment flow. In this case, we have configured that we want to observe the agent's behavior after it is trained (watch=True) for a number of episodes (watch_num_episodes=100). We have disabled persistence, because we do not want to save training logs, the agent or its configuration for future use.
the sampling configuration, which controls fundamental training parameters, such as the total number of epochs we run the experiment for (num_epochs=10)
and the number of environment steps each epoch shall consist of (step_per_epoch=10000). Every epoch consists of a series of data collection (rollout) steps and training steps. The parameter step_per_collect controls the amount of data that is collected in each collection step and after each collection step, we perform a training step, applying a gradient-based update based on a sample of data (batch_size=64) taken from the buffer of data that has been collected. For further details, see the documentation of SamplingConfig.

We then proceed to configure some of the parameters of the DQN algorithm itself and of the neural network model we want to use. A DQN-specific detail is the use of callbacks to configure the algorithm's epsilon parameter for exploration. We want to use random exploration during rollouts (train callback), but we don't when evaluating the agent's performance in the test environments (test callback).

Find the script in examples/discrete/discrete_dqn_hl.py. Here's a run (with the training time cut short):

Find many further applications of the high-level API in the examples/ folder; look for scripts ending with _hl.py. Note that most of these examples require the extra package argparse (install it by adding --extras argparse when invoking poetry).

Procedural API

Let us now consider an analogous example in the procedural API. Find the full script in examples/discrete/discrete_dqn.py.

First, import some relevant packages:

import gymnasium as gym
import torch
from torch.utils.tensorboard import SummaryWriter
import tianshou as ts

Define some hyper-parameters:

task = 'CartPole-v1'
lr, epoch, batch_size = 1e-3, 10, 64
train_num, test_num = 10, 100
gamma, n_step, target_freq = 0.9, 3, 320
buffer_size = 20000
eps_train, eps_test = 0.1, 0.05
step_per_epoch, step_per_collect = 10000, 10

Initialize the logger:

logger = ts.utils.TensorboardLogger(SummaryWriter('log/dqn'))
# For other loggers, see https://tianshou.readthedocs.io/en/master/01_tutorials/05_logger.html

Make environments:

# You can also try SubprocVectorEnv, which will use parallelization
train_envs = ts.env.DummyVectorEnv([lambda: gym.make(task) for _ in range(train_num)])
test_envs = ts.env.DummyVectorEnv([lambda: gym.make(task) for _ in range(test_num)])

Create the network as well as its optimizer:

from tianshou.utils.net.common import Net

# Note: You can easily define other networks.
# See https://tianshou.readthedocs.io/en/master/01_tutorials/00_dqn.html#build-the-network
env = gym.make(task, render_mode="human")
state_shape = env.observation_space.shape or env.observation_space.n
action_shape = env.action_space.shape or env.action_space.n
net = Net(state_shape=state_shape, action_shape=action_shape, hidden_sizes=[128, 128, 128])
optim = torch.optim.Adam(net.parameters(), lr=lr)

Set up the policy and collectors:

policy = ts.policy.DQNPolicy(
    model=net,
    optim=optim,
    discount_factor=gamma, 
    action_space=env.action_space,
    estimation_step=n_step,
    target_update_freq=target_freq
)
train_collector = ts.data.Collector(policy, train_envs, ts.data.VectorReplayBuffer(buffer_size, train_num), exploration_noise=True)
test_collector = ts.data.Collector(policy, test_envs, exploration_noise=True)  # because DQN uses epsilon-greedy method

Let's train it:

result = ts.trainer.OffpolicyTrainer(
    policy=policy,
    train_collector=train_collector,
    test_collector=test_collector,
    max_epoch=epoch,
    step_per_epoch=step_per_epoch,
    step_per_collect=step_per_collect,
    episode_per_test=test_num,
    batch_size=batch_size,
    update_per_step=1 / step_per_collect,
    train_fn=lambda epoch, env_step: policy.set_eps(eps_train),
    test_fn=lambda epoch, env_step: policy.set_eps(eps_test),
    stop_fn=lambda mean_rewards: mean_rewards >= env.spec.reward_threshold,
    logger=logger,
).run()
print(f"Finished training in {result.timing.total_time} seconds")

Save/load the trained policy (it's exactly the same as loading a torch.nn.module):

torch.save(policy.state_dict(), 'dqn.pth')
policy.load_state_dict(torch.load('dqn.pth'))

Watch the agent with 35 FPS:

policy.eval()
policy.set_eps(eps_test)
collector = ts.data.Collector(policy, env, exploration_noise=True)
collector.collect(n_episode=1, render=1 / 35)

Inspect the data saved in TensorBoard:

$ tensorboard --logdir log/dqn
