Reinforcement Learning with Model-Agnostic Meta-Learning (MAML)

Implementation of Model-Agnostic Meta-Learning (MAML) applied on Reinforcement Learning problems in Pytorch. This repository includes environments introduced in (Duan et al., 2016, Finn et al., 2017): multi-armed bandits, tabular MDPs, continuous control with MuJoCo, and 2D navigation task.

Getting started

To avoid any conflict with your existing Python setup, and to keep this project self-contained, it is suggested to work in a virtual environment with virtualenv. To install virtualenv:

pip install --upgrade virtualenv

Create a virtual environment, activate it and install the requirements in requirements.txt.

virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Requirements

Python 3.5 or above
PyTorch 1.3
Gym 0.15

Usage

Training

You can use the train.py script in order to run reinforcement learning experiments with MAML. Note that by default, logs are available in train.py but are not saved (eg. the returns during meta-training). For example, to run the script on HalfCheetah-Vel:

python train.py --config configs/maml/halfcheetah-vel.yaml --output-folder maml-halfcheetah-vel --seed 1 --num-workers 8

Testing

Once you have meta-trained the policy, you can test it on the same environment using test.py:

python test.py --config maml-halfcheetah-vel/config.json --policy maml-halfcheetah-vel/policy.th --output maml-halfcheetah-vel/results.npz --meta-batch-size 20 --num-batches 10  --num-workers 8
