# Upside-Down RL
<img alt="Version" src="./website_photo.jpg" />
This project implements an Upside-Down Reinforcement Learning (UDRL) agent.
This is the codebase of the paper: [arXiv](https://arxiv.org/abs/2411.11457)
The website associated with it is: [demo](https://vimmoos-udrl.hf.space/)
### Installation
1. Make sure you have Python 3.10 installed. You can check your version with `python --version`.
**NOTE** Use a virtual env to avoid dependency clash
2. Install the project dependencies using Poetry:
```bash
poetry install
```
If you do not have poetry use pip to install the requirements like so:
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
### Running the Experiment
You can run the experiment with various configuration options using the command line:
```bash
poetry run python -m udrl [options]
```
**Note** If you are already inside a virtual env `python -m udrl [options]` is enough
**Note** All defaults are for the CartPole-v0
Available options include:
* `--env_name`: Name of the Gym environment (default: `CartPole-v0`)
* `--estimator_name`: "neural" for NN or a fully qualified name of the scikit-learn estimator class (default: `ensemble.RandomForestClassifier`)
* `--seed`: Random seed (default: `42`)
* `--max_episode`: Maximum training episodes (default: `500`)
* `--collect_episode`: Episodes to collect between training (default: `15`)
* `--batch_size`: Batch size for training (default: `0`, uses entire replay buffer)
* Other options related to warm-up, memory size, exploration, testing, saving, etc.
### Result Data
* Experiment configuration and final test results are saved in a JSON file (`conf.json`) within a directory structure based on the environment, seed, and non-default configuration values (e.g., `data/[env-name]/[experiment_name]/[seed]/conf.json`).
* If `save_policy` is True, the trained policy is saved in the same directory (`policy`).
* If `save_learning_infos` is True, learning infos and rewards during training are saved as a NumPy file (e.g.`test_rewards.npy`) and a json file (e.h.`learning_infos.json`) in the same directory.
### Process Data
* A base post processing is available to convert the results data in csvs run it as `python -m udrl.data_proc`
### Project Structure
* `data`: Stores experiment results and other data.
* `old_code`: Contains previous code versions (not used in the current setup).
* `poetry.lock`, `pyproject.toml`: Manage project dependencies and configuration.
* `README.md`: This file.
* `udrl`: Contains the main Python modules for the UDRL agent.
Please refer to the code and comments for further details on the implementation.
