nip.rl_objectives.Objective

nip.rl_objectives.Objective#

class nip.rl_objectives.Objective(*args, **kwargs)[source]#

Base class for all RL objectives.

Extends the LossModule class from TorchRL to allow multiple actions keys and normalise advantages.

The implementation is a bit of a hack. We change the _AcceptedKeys class dynamically to allow for multiple action keys.

See torchrl.objectives.LossModule for more details

Methods Summary

_get_advantage(tensordict)

Get the advantage for a tensordict, normalising it if required.

_log_weight(sample)

Compute the log weight for the given TensorDict sample.

_set_in_keys()

backward(loss_vals)

Perform the backward pass for the loss.

set_keys(**kwargs)

Methods

_get_advantage(tensordict: TensorDictBase) → Tensor[source]#

Get the advantage for a tensordict, normalising it if required.

Parameters:

tensordict (TensorDictBase) – The input TensorDict.

Returns:

advantage (torch.Tensor) – The normalised advantage.

_log_weight(sample: TensorDictBase) → tuple[Tensor, Tensor, Distribution][source]#

Compute the log weight for the given TensorDict sample.

Parameters:

sample (TensorDictBase) – The sample TensorDict.

Returns:

  • log_prob (torch.Tensor) – The log probabilities of the sample

  • log_weight (torch.Tensor) – The log weight of the sample

  • dist (torch.distributions.Distribution) – The distribution used to compute the log weight.

_set_in_keys()[source]#
abstract backward(loss_vals: TensorDictBase)[source]#

Perform the backward pass for the loss.

Parameters:

loss_vals (TensorDictBase) – The loss values.

set_keys(**kwargs)[source]#

Set the keys of the input TensorDict that are used by this loss.

The keyword argument ‘action’ is treated specially. This should be an iterable of action keys. These are not validated against the set of accepted keys for this class. Instead, each is added to the set of accepted keys.

All other keyword arguments should match self._AcceptedKeys.

Parameters:

**kwargs – The keyword arguments to set.
