LunarLander是一款控制类的小游戏,也是强化学习中常用的例子。游戏任务为控制登月器着陆,玩家通过操作登月器的主引擎和副引擎,控制登月器降落。登月器平稳着陆会得到相应的奖励积分,如果精准降落在着陆平台上会有额外的奖励积分;相反地如果登月器坠毁会扣除积分。
A2C全称为Advantage Actor-Critic,在本案例中,我们将展示如何基于A2C算法,训练一个LunarLander小游戏。
整体流程:基于gym创建LunarLander环境->构建A2C算法->训练->推理->可视化效果
A2C是openAI在实现baseline过程中提出的,是一种结合了Value-based (比如 Q learning) 和 Policy-based (比如 Policy Gradients) 的强化学习算法。
Actor目的是学习策略函数π(θ)以得到尽量高的回报。 Critic目的是对当前策略的值函数进行估计,来评价。
Policy Gradient算法的整个过程可以看作先通过策略π(θ)让agent与环境进行互动,计算每一步所能得到的奖励,并以此得到一局游戏的奖励作为累积奖励G,然后通过调整策略π,使得G最大化。所以使用了梯度提升的方法来更新网络参数θ,利用更新后的策略再采集数据,再更新,如此循环,达到优化策略的目的。
agent在于环境互动过程中产生的G值本身是一个随机变量,可以通过Q函数去估计G的期望值,来增加稳定性。即Actor-Critic算法在PG策略的更新过程中使用Q函数来代替了G,同时构建了Critic网络来计算Q函数,此时Actor相关参数的梯度为:
而Critic的损失函数使用Q估计和Q实际值差的平方损失来表示:
A2C在AC算法的基础上使用状态价值函数给Q值增加了基线V,使反馈可以为正或者为负,因此Actor的策略梯变为:
同时Critic网络的损失函数使用实际状态价值和估计状态价值的平方损失来表示:
LunarLander-v2,是基于gym和box2d提供的游戏环境。游戏任务为玩家通过操作登月器的喷气主引擎和副引擎来控制登月器降落。
gym:开源强化学习python库,提供了算法和环境交互的标准API,以及符合该API的标准环境集。
box2d:gym提供的一种环境集合
第1步:安装基础依赖
要确保所有依赖都安装成功后,再执行之后的代码。如果某些模块因为网络原因导致安装失败,直接重试一次即可。
!pip install gym
!conda install swig -y
!pip install box2d-py
!pip install gym[box2d]
第2步:导入相关的库
import os
import gym
import numpy as np
import tensorflow as tf
import pandas as pd
本案例设置的 游戏最大局数 MAX_EPISODE = 100,保存模型的局数 SAVE_EPISODES = 20,以便快速跑通代码。
你也可以调大 MAX_EPISODE 和 SAVE_EPISODES 的值,如1000和100,可以达到较好的训练效果,训练耗时约20分钟。

由于本游戏内核可视化依赖于OpenGL,需要桌面化操作系统的窗口显示,但当前环境暂不支持弹窗,因此无法可视化,您可将代码下载到本地,取消 env.render() 这行代码的注释,查看可视化效果。
