Double Deep Q Learning (DDQN) In PyTorch

DDQN inplementation on PLE FlappyBird environment in PyTorch.

DDQN is proposed to solve the overestimation issue of Deep Q Learning (DQN). Apply separate target network to choose action, reducing the correlation of action selection and value evaluation.

Requirement

• Python 3.6
• Pytorch
• Visdom
• PLE (PyGame-Learning-Environment)
• Moviepy

Algorithm

• In this implementation, I update policy network per episode e not per step t.
• Simplify input images for faster convergence.

Usage

• HyperParameter in config.py
• Train

python main.py --train=True --video_path=./video --logs_path=./logs 

• Restore Pretrain Model

python main.py --restore=./pretrain/model-98500.pth  

• Visualize loss and reward curve

python -m visdom.server
python visualize.py --logs_path=./logs

Result

• Full Video (with 60 FPS)
• Reward
