DdpgCnnActor

class torchrl.modules.DdpgCnnActor(action_dim: int, conv_net_kwargs: Optional[dict] = None, mlp_net_kwargs: Optional[dict] = None, use_avg_pooling: bool = False, device: Optional[Union[device, str, int]] = None)[source]

DDPG Convolutional Actor class.

Presented in “CONTINUOUS CONTROL WITH DEEP REINFORCEMENT LEARNING”, https://arxiv.org/pdf/1509.02971.pdf

The DDPG Convolutional Actor takes as input an observation (some simple transformation of the observed pixels) and returns an action vector from it, as well as an observation embedding that can be reused for a value estimation. It should be trained to maximise the value returned by the DDPG Q Value network.

Parameters:
  • action_dim (int) – length of the action vector.

  • conv_net_kwargs (dict or list of dicts, optional) –

    kwargs for the ConvNet. Defaults to

    >>> {
    ...     'in_features': None,
    ...     "num_cells": [32, 64, 64],
    ...     "kernel_sizes": [8, 4, 3],
    ...     "strides": [4, 2, 1],
    ...     "paddings": [0, 0, 1],
    ...     'activation_class': torch.nn.ELU,
    ...     'norm_class': None,
    ...     'aggregator_class': SquashDims,
    ...     'aggregator_kwargs': {"ndims_in": 3},
    ...     'squeeze_output': True,
    ... }  #
    

  • mlp_net_kwargs

    kwargs for MLP. Defaults to:

    >>> {
    ...     'in_features': None,
    ...     'out_features': action_dim,
    ...     'depth': 2,
    ...     'num_cells': 200,
    ...     'activation_class': nn.ELU,
    ...     'bias_last_layer': True,
    ... }
    

  • use_avg_pooling (bool, optional) – if True, a AvgPooling layer is used to aggregate the output. Defaults to False.

  • device (torch.device, optional) – device to create the module on.

Examples

>>> import torch
>>> from torchrl.modules import DdpgCnnActor
>>> actor = DdpgCnnActor(action_dim=4)
>>> print(actor)
DdpgCnnActor(
  (convnet): ConvNet(
    (0): LazyConv2d(0, 32, kernel_size=(8, 8), stride=(4, 4))
    (1): ELU(alpha=1.0)
    (2): Conv2d(32, 64, kernel_size=(4, 4), stride=(2, 2))
    (3): ELU(alpha=1.0)
    (4): Conv2d(64, 64, kernel_size=(3, 3), stride=(1, 1), padding=(1, 1))
    (5): ELU(alpha=1.0)
    (6): SquashDims()
  )
  (mlp): MLP(
    (0): LazyLinear(in_features=0, out_features=200, bias=True)
    (1): ELU(alpha=1.0)
    (2): Linear(in_features=200, out_features=200, bias=True)
    (3): ELU(alpha=1.0)
    (4): Linear(in_features=200, out_features=4, bias=True)
  )
)
>>> obs = torch.randn(10, 3, 64, 64)
>>> action, hidden = actor(obs)
>>> print(action.shape)
torch.Size([10, 4])
>>> print(hidden.shape)
torch.Size([10, 2304])
forward(observation: Tensor) Tuple[Tensor, Tensor][source]

Define the computation performed at every call.

Should be overridden by all subclasses.

Note

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the Module instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the registered hooks while the latter silently ignores them.
