Independent and minimal implementations of some reinforcement learning algorithms using PyTorch (including PPO, A3C, A2C, ...).

Last update: Dec 31, 2022

Overview

PyTorch RL Minimal Implementations

There are implementations of some reinforcement learning algorithms, whose characteristics are as follow:

Less packages-based: Only PyTorch and Gym, for building neural networks and testing algorithms' performance respectively, are necessary to install.
Independent implementation: All RL algorithms are implemented in separate files, which facilitates to understand their processes and modify them to adapt to other tasks.
Various expansion configurations: It's convenient to configure various parameters and tools, such as reward normalization, advantage normalization, tensorboard, tqdm and so on.
