Guide to set up and run CERL Experiments

  1. Setup Conda

    • Install Anaconda3
    • conda create -n $ENV_NAME$ python=3.6.1
    • source activate $ENV_NAME$

  2. Install Pytorch version 1.0

    • Refer to https://pytorch.org/ for instructions
    • conda install pytorch torchvision -c pytorch [GPU-version]

  3. Install Numpy, Cython and Scipy

    • pip install numpy==1.15.4
    • pip install cython==0.29.2
    • pip install scipy==1.1.0

  4. Install Mujoco and OpenAI_Gym

    • Download mjpro150 from https://www.roboti.us/index.html
    • Unzip mjpro150 and place it + mjkey.txt (license file) in ~/.mujoco/ (create the .mujoco dir in you home folder)
    • pip install -U 'mujoco-py<1.50.2,>=1.50.1'
    • pip install 'gym[all]'

Reproduce Results

python main.py -env HalfCheetah-v2 -portfolio {10,14} -total_steps 2 -seed {2018,2022}

python main.py -env Hopper-v2 -portfolio {10,14} -total_steps 1.5 -seed {2018,2022}

python main.py -env Humanoid-v2 -portfolio {10,14} -total_steps 1 -seed {2018,2022}

python main.py -env Walker2d-v2 -portfolio {10,14} -total_steps 2 -seed {2018,2022}

python main.py -env Swimmer-v2 -portfolio {10,14} -total_steps 2 -seed {2018,2022}

python main.py -env Hopper-v2 -portfolio {100,102} -total_steps 5 -seed {2018,2022}

where {} represents an inclusive discrete range: {10, 14} --> {10, 11, 12, 13, 14}

Note

All roll-outs (evaluation of actors in the evolutionary population and the explorative roll-outs conducted by the learners run in parallel). They are farmed out to different CPU cores, and write asynchronously to the collective replay buffer. Thus, slight variations in results are observed even with the same seed.
