    Learn policy using PPO algorithm (https://arxiv.org/abs/1707.06347)

    Parameters:
    ----------

    network:                          policy network architecture. Either string (mlp, lstm, lnlstm, cnn_lstm, cnn, cnn_small, conv_only - see baselines_merl.common/models.py for full list)
                                      specifying the standard network architecture, or a function that takes tensorflow tensor as input and returns
                                      tuple (output_tensor, extra_feed) where output tensor is the last network layer output, extra_feed is None for feed-forward
                                      neural nets, and extra_feed is a dictionary describing how to feed state into the network for recurrent neural nets.
                                      See common/models.py/lstm for more details on using recurrent nets in policies

    env: baselines_merl.common.vec_env.VecEnv     environment. Needs to be vectorized for parallel environment simulation.
                                      The environments produced by gym.make can be wrapped using baselines_merl.common.vec_env.DummyVecEnv class.


    nsteps: int                       number of steps of the vectorized environment per update (i.e. batch size is nsteps * nenv where
                                      nenv is number of environment copies simulated in parallel)

    total_timesteps: int              number of timesteps (i.e. number of actions taken in the environment)

    ent_coef: float                   policy entropy coefficient in the optimization objective

    lr: float or function             learning rate, constant or a schedule function [0,1] -> R+ where 1 is beginning of the
                                      training and 0 is the end of the training.

    vf_coef: float                    value function loss coefficient in the optimization objective

    max_grad_norm: float or None      gradient norm clipping coefficient

    gamma: float                      discounting factor

    lam: float                        advantage estimation discounting factor (lambda in the paper)

    log_interval: int                 number of timesteps between logging events

    nminibatches: int                 number of training minibatches per update. For recurrent policies,
                                      should be smaller or equal than number of environments run in parallel.

    noptepochs: int                   number of training epochs per update

    cliprange: float or function      clipping range, constant or schedule function [0,1] -> R+ where 1 is beginning of the training
                                      and 0 is the end of the training

    save_interval: int                number of timesteps between saving events

    load_path: str                    path to load the model from

    **network_kwargs:                 keyword arguments to the policy / network builder. See baselines_merl.common/policies.py/build_policy and arguments to a particular type of network
                                      For instance, 'mlp' network architecture has arguments num_hidden and num_layers.
