ChatGPT的强化学习部分介绍——PPO算法实战LunarLander-v2

PPO算法

近线策略优化算法（Proximal Policy Optimization Algorithms） 即属于AC框架下的算法，在采样策略梯度算法训练方法的同时，重复利用历史采样的数据进行网络参数更新，提升了策略梯度方法的学习效率。 PPO重要的突破就是在于对新旧新旧策略器参数进行了约束，希望新的策略网络和旧策略网络的越接近越好。 近线策略优化的意思就是：新策略网络要利用到旧策略网络采样的数据进行学习，不希望这两个策略相差特别大，否则就会学偏。PPO依然是openai在2017年提出来的，论文地址

PPO-clip的损失函数，其中损失包含三个部分：

• clip部分：加权采样后的优势值越好（可理解层价值网络的评分），同时采样通过clip防止新旧策略网络相差过大
• VF部分： 价值网络预测的价值和环境真是的回报值越接近越好
• S 部分：策略网络输出策略的熵值，越大越好，这个explore的思想，希望策略网络输出的动作分布概率不要太集中，提高了每个动作都有机会在环境中发生的可能。

导入必要的包

准备环境

准备好openai开发的LunarLander-v2的游戏环境。

seed = 543
def fix(env, seed):env.action_space.seed(seed)torch.manual_seed(seed)np.random.seed(seed)random.seed(seed)
import gym
import random
env = gym.make('LunarLander-v2' ,render_mode='rgb_array')
fix(env, seed) # fix the environment Do not revise this !!!

下面是采用代码去输出 环境的 观测值，一个8维向量，动作是一个标量，4选一。

• 该环境共有 8 个观测值，分别是： 水平坐标 x； 垂直坐标 y； 水平速度； 垂直速度； 角度； 角速度； 腿1触地； 腿2触地；
• 可以采取四种离散的行动，分别是： 0 代表不采取任何行动 1.代表主引擎向左喷射 2 .代表主引擎向下喷射 3 .代表主引擎向右喷射
• 环境中的 reward 大致是这样计算： 小艇坠毁得到 -100 分； 小艇在黄旗帜之间成功着地则得 100~140 分； 喷射主引擎（向下喷火）每次 -0.3 分； 小艇最终完全静止则再得 100 分

随机动作玩5把

env.reset()img = plt.imshow(env.render())done = False
rewords = []
for i in range(5):env.reset()[0]img = plt.imshow(env.render())total_reward = 0done = Falsewhile not done:action = env.action_space.sample()observation, reward, done, _ , _= env.step(action)total_reward += rewardimg.set_data(env.render())display.display(plt.gcf())display.clear_output(wait=True)rewords.append(total_reward)

只有一把分数是正的，只有一次平安落地，小艇最终完全静止

训练PPO agent

state_dim = 8 ### 游戏的状态是个8维向量

PPO agent在玩5把游戏

fix(env, seed)
agent.policy.eval() # set the network into evaluation mode
test_total_reward = []
for i in range(5):actions = []state = env.reset()[0]img = plt.imshow(env.render())total_reward = 0done = Falsewhile not done :action= agent.act(state)actions.append(action)state, reward, done, _, _ = env.step(action)total_reward += rewardimg.set_data(env.render())display.display(plt.gcf())display.clear_output(wait=True)test_total_reward.append(total_reward)

从下图可以看到，玩得比随机的时候要好很多，有三把都平安着地，小艇最终完全静止。

其中有3把得分超过200，证明ppo在300轮已经学到了如何玩这个游戏，比之前的随机agent要强了不少。
