RL Baselines3 Zoo: A Training Framework for Stable Baselines3 Reinforcement Learning Agents

RL Baselines3 Zoo is a training framework for Reinforcement Learning (RL), using Stable Baselines3.

It provides scripts for training, evaluating agents, tuning hyperparameters, plotting results and recording videos.

In addition, it includes a collection of tuned hyperparameters for common environments and RL algorithms, and agents trained with those settings.

We are looking for contributors to complete the collection!

Goals of this repository:

  1. Provide a simple interface to train and enjoy RL agents
  2. Benchmark the different Reinforcement Learning algorithms
  3. Provide tuned hyperparameters for each environment and RL algorithm
  4. Have fun with the trained agents!

This is the SB3 version of the original SB2 rl-zoo.

Train an Agent

The hyperparameters for each environment are defined in hyperparameters/algo_name.yml.

If the environment exists in this file, then you can train an agent using:

python train.py --algo algo_name --env env_id

For example (with tensorboard support):

python train.py --algo ppo --env CartPole-v1 --tensorboard-log /tmp/stable-baselines/

Evaluate the agent every 10000 steps using 10 episodes for evaluation (using only one evaluation env):

python train.py --algo sac --env HalfCheetahBulletEnv-v0 --eval-freq 10000 --eval-episodes 10 --n-eval-envs 1

Save a checkpoint of the agent every 100000 steps:

python train.py --algo td3 --env HalfCheetahBulletEnv-v0 --save-freq 100000

Continue training (here, load pretrained agent for Breakout and continue training for 5000 steps):

python train.py --algo a2c --env BreakoutNoFrameskip-v4 -i rl-trained-agents/a2c/BreakoutNoFrameskip-v4_1/BreakoutNoFrameskip-v4.zip -n 5000

When using off-policy algorithms, you can also save the replay buffer after training:

python train.py --algo sac --env Pendulum-v0 --save-replay-buffer

It will be automatically loaded if present when continuing training.

Plot Scripts

Plot scripts (to be documented, see "Results" sections in SB3 documentation):

  • scripts/all_plots.py/scripts/plot_from_file.py for plotting evaluations
  • scripts/plot_train.py for plotting training reward/success

Examples (on the current collection)

Plot training success (y-axis) w.r.t. timesteps (x-axis) with a moving window of 500 episodes for all the Fetch environment with HER algorithm:

python scripts/plot_train.py -a her -e Fetch -y success -f rl-trained-agents/ -w 500 -x steps

Plot evaluation reward curve for TQC, SAC and TD3 on the HalfCheetah and Ant PyBullet environments:

python scripts/all_plots.py -a sac td3 tqc --env HalfCheetah Ant -f rl-trained-agents/

Plot with the rliable library

The RL zoo integrates some of rliable library features.

First, you need to install rliable.

Note: Python 3.7+ is required in that case.

Then export your results to a file using the all_plots.py script (see above):

python scripts/all_plots.py -a sac td3 tqc --env Half Ant -f logs/ -o logs/offpolicy

You can now use the plot_from_file.py script with --rliable, --versus and --iqm arguments:

python scripts/plot_from_file.py -i logs/offpolicy.pkl --skip-timesteps --rliable --versus -l SAC TD3 TQC

Note: you may need to edit plot_from_file.py, in particular the env_key_to_env_id dictionary and the scripts/score_normalization.py which stores min and max score for each environment.

Remark: plotting with the --rliable option is usually slow as confidence interval need to be computed using bootstrap sampling.

Custom Environment

The easiest way to add support for a custom environment is to edit utils/import_envs.py and register your environment here. Then, you need to add a section for it in the hyperparameters file (hyperparams/algo.yml).

Enjoy a Trained Agent

Note: to download the repo with the trained agents, you must use git clone --recursive https://github.com/DLR-RM/rl-baselines3-zoo in order to clone the submodule too.

If the trained agent exists, then you can see it in action using:

python enjoy.py --algo algo_name --env env_id

For example, enjoy A2C on Breakout during 5000 timesteps:

python enjoy.py --algo a2c --env BreakoutNoFrameskip-v4 --folder rl-trained-agents/ -n 5000

If you have trained an agent yourself, you need to do:

# exp-id 0 corresponds to the last experiment, otherwise, you can specify another ID
python enjoy.py --algo algo_name --env env_id -f logs/ --exp-id 0

To load the best model (when using evaluation environment):

python enjoy.py --algo algo_name --env env_id -f logs/ --exp-id 1 --load-best

To load a checkpoint (here the checkpoint name is rl_model_10000_steps.zip):

python enjoy.py --algo algo_name --env env_id -f logs/ --exp-id 1 --load-checkpoint 10000

To load the latest checkpoint:

python enjoy.py --algo algo_name --env env_id -f logs/ --exp-id 1 --load-last-checkpoint

Hyperparameter yaml syntax

The syntax used in hyperparameters/algo_name.yml for setting hyperparameters (likewise the syntax to overwrite hyperparameters on the cli) may be specialized if the argument is a function. See examples in the hyperparameters/ directory. For example:

  • Specify a linear schedule for the learning rate:
  learning_rate: lin_0.012486195510232303

Specify a different activation function for the network:

  policy_kwargs: "dict(activation_fn=nn.ReLU)"

Hyperparameter Tuning

We use Optuna for optimizing the hyperparameters. Not all hyperparameters are tuned, and tuning enforces certain default hyperparameter settings that may be different from the official defaults. See utils/hyperparams_opt.py for the current settings for each agent.

Hyperparameters not specified in utils/hyperparams_opt.py are taken from the associated YAML file and fallback to the default values of SB3 if not present.

Note: hyperparameters search is not implemented for DQN for now. when using SuccessiveHalvingPruner ("halving"), you must specify --n-jobs > 1

Budget of 1000 trials with a maximum of 50000 steps:

python train.py --algo ppo --env MountainCar-v0 -n 50000 -optimize --n-trials 1000 --n-jobs 2 \
  --sampler tpe --pruner median

Distributed optimization using a shared database is also possible (see the corresponding Optuna documentation):

python train.py --algo ppo --env MountainCar-v0 -optimize --study-name test --storage sqlite:///example.db

Hyperparameters search space

Note that the default hyperparameters used in the zoo when tuning are not always the same as the defaults provided in stable-baselines3. Consult the latest source code to be sure of these settings. For example:

  • PPO tuning assumes a network architecture with ortho_init = False when tuning, though it is True by default. You can change that by updating utils/hyperparams_opt.py.

  • Non-episodic rollout in TD3 and DDPG assumes gradient_steps = train_freq and so tunes only train_freq to reduce the search space.

When working with continuous actions, we recommend to enable gSDE by uncommenting lines in utils/hyperparams_opt.py.

Env normalization

In the hyperparameter file, normalize: True means that the training environment will be wrapped in a VecNormalize wrapper.

Normalization uses the default parameters of VecNormalize, with the exception of gamma which is set to match that of the agent. This can be overridden using the appropriate hyperparameters/algo_name.yml, e.g.

  normalize: "{'norm_obs': True, 'norm_reward': False}"

Env Wrappers

You can specify in the hyperparameter config one or more wrapper to use around the environment:

for one wrapper:

env_wrapper: gym_minigrid.wrappers.FlatObsWrapper

for multiple, specify a list:

env_wrapper:
    - utils.wrappers.DoneOnSuccessWrapper:
        reward_offset: 1.0
    - sb3_contrib.common.wrappers.TimeFeatureWrapper

Note that you can easily specify parameters too.

Callbacks

Following the same syntax as env wrappers, you can also add custom callbacks to use during training.

callback:
  - utils.callbacks.ParallelTrainCallback:
      gradient_steps: 256

Env keyword arguments

You can specify keyword arguments to pass to the env constructor in the command line, using --env-kwargs:

python enjoy.py --algo ppo --env MountainCar-v0 --env-kwargs goal_velocity:10

Overwrite hyperparameters

You can easily overwrite hyperparameters in the command line, using --hyperparams:

python train.py --algo a2c --env MountainCarContinuous-v0 --hyperparams learning_rate:0.001 policy_kwargs:"dict(net_arch=[64, 64])"

Note: if you want to pass a string, you need to escape it like that: my_string:"'value'"

Record a Video of a Trained Agent

Record 1000 steps with the latest saved model:

python -m utils.record_video --algo ppo --env BipedalWalkerHardcore-v3 -n 1000

Use the best saved model instead:

python -m utils.record_video --algo ppo --env BipedalWalkerHardcore-v3 -n 1000 --load-best

Record a video of a checkpoint saved during training (here the checkpoint name is rl_model_10000_steps.zip):

python -m utils.record_video --algo ppo --env BipedalWalkerHardcore-v3 -n 1000 --load-checkpoint 10000

Record a Video of a Training Experiment

Apart from recording videos of specific saved models, it is also possible to record a video of a training experiment where checkpoints have been saved.

Record 1000 steps for each checkpoint, latest and best saved models:

python -m utils.record_training --algo ppo --env CartPole-v1 -n 1000 -f logs --deterministic

The previous command will create a mp4 file. To convert this file to gif format as well:

python -m utils.record_training --algo ppo --env CartPole-v1 -n 1000 -f logs --deterministic --gif

Current Collection: 100+ Trained Agents!

Final performance of the trained agents can be found in benchmark.md. To compute them, simply run python -m utils.benchmark.

NOTE: this is not a quantitative benchmark as it corresponds to only one run (cf issue #38). This benchmark is meant to check algorithm (maximal) performance, find potential bugs and also allow users to have access to pretrained agents.

There are 19 environment groups (variations for each) in total.

Note that you need to specify --gym-packages gym_minigrid with enjoy.py and train.py as it is not a standard Gym environment, as well as installing the custom Gym package module or putting it in python path.

pip install gym-minigrid
python train.py --algo ppo --env MiniGrid-DoorKey-5x5-v0 --gym-packages gym_minigrid

This does the same thing as:

import gym_minigrid
