Policy Expansion (PEX) [ICLR 2023]

Installation

The training environment (PyTorch and dependencies) can be installed as follows:

git clone https://github.com/Haichao-Zhang/PEX.git
cd PEX

python3 -m venv .venv_pex
source .venv_pex/bin/activate
pip3 install -e .

Train

Offline Training

Set root_dir to the path where the experimental results will be saved.

Then run:

CUDA_VISIABLE_DEVICES=0 python main_offline.py --log_dir=$root_dir/antmaze-large-play-v0_offline_run1 --env_name antmaze-large-play-v0 --tau 0.9 --beta 10.0

Online Training

First set the path to the offline checkpoint:

path_to_offline_ckpt=$root_dir/antmaze-large-play-v0_offline_run1/offline_ckpt

and select an algorithm:

algorithm=pex (or any other algorithms in [scratch, direct, buffer, pex])

and then run

CUDA_VISIABLE_DEVICES=0 python ./main_online.py --log_dir=$root_dir/antmaze-large-play-v0_run1_$algorithm --env_name=antmaze-large-play-v0 --tau 0.9 --beta 10.0 --ckpt_path=$path_to_offline_ckpt --eval_episode_num=100 --algorithm=$algorithm

Example on Locomotion Task

CUDA_VISIABLE_DEVICES=0 python main_offline.py --log_dir=$root_dir/halfcheetah-random-v2_offline_run1 --env_name halfcheetah-random-v2 --tau 0.9 --beta 10.0

path_to_offline_ckpt=$root_dir/halfcheetah-random-v2/offline_ckpt

CUDA_VISIABLE_DEVICES=0 python ./main_online.py --log_dir=$root_dir/halfcheetah-random-v2_run1_$algorithm --env_name=halfcheetah-random-v2 --tau 0.9 --beta 10.0 --ckpt_path=$path_to_offline_ckpt --eval_episode_num=10 --algorithm=$algorithm
