强化学习在alphago中大放异彩,本文将简要介绍强化学习的一种q-learning。先从最简单的q-table下手,然后针对state过多的问题引入q-network,最后通过两个例子加深对q-learning的理解。
强化学习通常包括两个实体agent
和environment
。两个实体的交互如下,在environment
的state
st下,agent
采取action
at进而得到reward
rt 并进入state
st+1。
强化学习的问题,通常有如下特点:
Q-learning的核心是Q-table。Q-table的行和列分别表示state
和action
的值,Q-table的值Q(s,a)Q(s,a)衡量当前states
采取actiona
到底有多好。
在训练的过程中,我们使用Bellman Equation去更新Q-table。
Bellman Equation解释如下:Q(s,a)表示成当前s采取a后的即时r,加上折价γ后的最大reward max(Q(s′,a′)。
根据Bellman Equation,学习的最终目的是得到Q-table,算法如下:
以FrozenLake为例,代码如下:
# import lib
import gym
import numpy as np
# Load the environment
env = gym.make('FrozenLake-v0')
# Implement Q-Table learning algorithm
#Initialize table with all zeros
Q = np.zeros([env.observation_space.n,env.action_space.n])
# Set learning parameters
lr = .8
y = .95
num_episodes = 2000
#create lists to contain total rewards and steps per episode
#jList = []
rList = []
for i in range(num_episodes):
#Reset environment and get first new observation
s = env.reset()
rAll = 0
d = False
j = 0
#The Q-Table learning algorithm
while j < 99:
j+=1
#Choose an action by greedily (with noise) picking from Q table
a = np.argmax(Q[s,:] + np.random.randn(1,env.action_space.n)*(1./(i+1)))
#Get new state and reward from environment
s1,r,d,_ = env.step(a)
#Update Q-Table with new knowledge
Q[s,a] = Q[s,a] + lr*(r + y*np.max(Q[s1,:]) - Q[s,a])
rAll += r
s = s1
if d == True:
break
#jList.append(j)
rList.append(rAll)
print "Score over time: " + str(sum(rList)/num_episodes)
print "Final Q-Table Values"
print Q
q-table存在一个问题,真实情况的state可能无穷多,这样q-table就会无限大,解决这个问题的办法是通过神经网络实现q-table。输入state,输出不同action的q-value。
强化学习由于state之间的相关性存在稳定性的问题,解决的办法是在训练的时候存储当前训练的状态到记忆体M,更新参数的时候随机从M中抽样mini-batch进行更新。
具体地,M中存储的数据类型为 <s,a,r,s′><s, a, r, s'>,M有最大长度的限制,以保证更新采用的数据都是最近的数据。
