Introduction

License: MIT

XingTian (刑天) is a componentized library for the development and verification of reinforcement learning algorithms. It supports multiple algorithms, including DQN, DDPG, PPO, and IMPALA etc, which could training agents in multiple environments, such as Gym, Atari, Torcs, StarCraftII and so on. To meet users' requirements for quick verification and solving RL problems, four modules are abstracted: Algorithm, Model, Agent, and Environment. They work in a similar way as the combination of `Lego' building blocks. For details about the architecture, please see the Architecture introduction.

Dependencies

# ubuntu 18.04
sudo apt-get install python3-pip libopencv-dev -y
pip3 install opencv-python

# run with tensorflow 1.15.0 or tensorflow 2.3.1
pip3 install zmq h5py gym[atari] tqdm imageio matplotlib==3.0.3 Ipython pyyaml tensorflow==1.15.0 pyarrow lz4 fabric2 absl-py psutil tensorboardX setproctitle

or, using pip3 install -r requirements.txt

If your want to used PyTorch as the backend, please install it by yourself. Ref Pytorch

Installation

# cd PATH/TO/XingTian 
pip3 install -e .

After installation, you could use import xt; print(xt.__Version__) to check whether the installation is successful.

In [1]: import xt

In [2]: xt.__version__
Out[2]: '0.3.0'

Quick Start


Setup configuration

Follow's configuration shows a minimal example with Cartpole environment. More detailed description with the parameters of agent, algorithm and environment could been find in the User guide .

In addition, your could find more configuration sets in examples directory.

Start training task

python3 xt/main.py -f examples/cartpole_ppo.yaml -t train

img

Evaluate local trained model

Set benchmark.eval.model_path for evaluation within the YOUR_CONFIG_FILE.yaml

benchmark:
  eval:
    model_path: /YOUR/PATH/TO/EVAL/models
    gap: 10           # index gap of eval model
    evaluator_num: 1  # the number of evaluator instance

# run command
python3 xt/main.py -f examples/cartpole_ppo.yaml -t evaluate

NOTE: XingTian start with -t train as default.

Run with CLI

# Could replace `python3 xt/main.py` with `xt_main` command!
xt_main -f examples/cartpole_ppo.yaml -t train

# train with evaluate
xt_main -f examples/cartpole_ppo.yaml -t train_with_evaluate

Develop with Custom case

  1. Write custom module, and register it. More detail guidance on custom module can be found in the Developer Guide
  2. Add YOUR-CUSTOM-MODULE name into your_train_configure.yaml
  3. Start training with xt_main -f path/to/your_train_configure.yaml :)
