Simple Reinforce Studies

Name: Simple Reinforce Studies

Date completed: 2018_02_16

Description: Simple set of experiments using REINFORCE in the CartPole environment. They are intended to illustrate the effect of varying entropy, gamma (the discount rate), and the learning rate.

Hypotheses: N/A

Prerequisites: N/A

Algorithms: Reinforce

Environments: CartPole-v0

Specs: ("reinforce_cartpole_studies.json")

Running instructions: Save the following in config/experiments.json

{
  "reinforce_cartpole_studies.json": {
    "reinforce_cartpole_gamma": "search",
    "reinforce_cartpole_lr": "search",
    "reinforce_cartpole_entropy": "search",
  }
}

Then run in the library root folder

yarn start
