:param force_cpu:
Force the neural networks to run on the CPU even if a GPU is available
:param async_training:
If set to True, asynchronous training will be used, meaning that each workers will progress in its own
speed, while not waiting for the rest of the workers to calculate their gradients.
:param shared_optimizer:
If set to True, a central optimizer which will be shared with all the workers will be used for applying
gradients to the network. Otherwise, each worker will have its own optimizer with its own internal
parameters that will only be affected by the gradients calculated by that worker
:param scale_down_gradients_by_number_of_workers_for_sync_training:
If set to True, in synchronous training, the gradients of each worker will be scaled down by the
number of workers. This essentially means that the gradients applied to the network are the average
of the gradients over all the workers.
:param clip_gradients:
A value that will be used for clipping the gradients of the network. If set to None, no gradient clipping
will be applied. Otherwise, the gradients will be clipped according to the gradients_clipping_method.
:param gradients_clipping_method:
A gradient clipping method, defined by a GradientClippingMethod enum, and that will be used to clip the
gradients of the network. This will only be used if the clip_gradients value is defined as a value other
than None.
:param l2_regularization:
A L2 regularization weight that will be applied to the network weights while calculating the loss function
:param learning_rate:
The learning rate for the network
:param learning_rate_decay_rate:
If this value is larger than 0, an exponential decay will be applied to the network learning rate.
The rate of the decay is defined by this parameter, and the number of training steps the decay will be
applied is defined by learning_rate_decay_steps. Notice that both parameters should be defined in order
for this to work correctly.
:param learning_rate_decay_steps:
If the learning_rate_decay_rate of the network is larger than 0, an exponential decay will be applied to
the network learning rate. The number of steps the decay will be applied is defined by this parameter.
Notice that both this parameter, as well as learning_rate_decay_rate should be defined in order for the
learning rate decay to work correctly.
:param input_embedders_parameters:
A dictionary mapping between input names and input embedders (InputEmbedderParameters) to use for the
network. Each of the keys is an input name as returned from the environment in the state.
For example, if the environment returns a state containing 'observation' and 'measurements', then
the keys for the input embedders dictionary can be either 'observation' to use the observation as input,
'measurements' to use the measurements as input, or both.
The embedder type will be automatically selected according to the input type. Vector inputs will
produce a fully connected embedder, and image inputs will produce a convolutional embedder.
:param embedding_merger_type:
The type of embedding merging to use, given by one of the EmbeddingMergerType enum values.
This will be used to merge the outputs of all the input embedders into a single embbeding.
:param middleware_parameters:
The parameters of the middleware to use, given by a MiddlewareParameters object.
Each network will have only a single middleware embedder which will take the merged embeddings from the
input embedders and pass them through more neural network layers.
:param heads_parameters:
A list of heads for the network given by their corresponding HeadParameters.
Each network can have one or multiple network heads, where each one will take the output of the middleware
and make some additional computation on top of it. Additionally, each head calculates a weighted loss value,
and the loss values from all the heads will be summed later on.
:param use_separate_networks_per_head:
A flag that allows using different copies of the input embedders and middleware for each one of the heads.
Regularly, the heads will have a shared input, but in the case where use_separate_networks_per_head is set
to True, each one of the heads will get a different input.
:param optimizer_type:
A string specifying the optimizer type to use for updating the network. The available optimizers are
Adam, RMSProp and LBFGS.
:param optimizer_epsilon:
An internal optimizer parameter used for Adam and RMSProp.
:param adam_optimizer_beta1:
An beta1 internal optimizer parameter used for Adam. It will be used only if Adam was selected as the
optimizer for the network.
:param adam_optimizer_beta2:
An beta2 internal optimizer parameter used for Adam. It will be used only if Adam was selected as the
optimizer for the network.
:param rms_prop_optimizer_decay:
The decay value for the RMSProp optimizer, which will be used only in case the RMSProp optimizer was
selected for this network.
:param batch_size:
The batch size to use when updating the network.
:param replace_mse_with_huber_loss:
:param create_target_network:
If this flag is set to True, an additional copy of the network will be created and initialized with the
same weights as the online network. It can then be queried, and its weights can be synced from the
online network at will.
:param tensorflow_support:
A flag which specifies if the network is supported by the TensorFlow framework.

If a softmax is present in the network head output, use this temperature

episodes. The logs can be later used to visualize the training process using Coach Dashboard.
:param dump_signals_to_csv_every_x_episodes:
Defines the number of episodes between writing new data to the csv log files. Lower values can affect
performance, as writing to disk may take time, and it is done synchronously.

:param dump_mp4:
If set to True, MP4 videos of the environment will be stored into the experiment directory according to
the filters defined in video_dump_methods.
:param dump_in_episode_signals:
If set to True, csv files will be dumped for each episode for inspecting different metrics within the
episode. This means that for each step in each episode, different metrics such as the reward, the
future return, etc. will be saved. Setting this to True may affect performance severely, and therefore
this should be used only for debugging purposes.
:param dump_parameters_documentation:
If set to True, a json file containing all the agent parameters will be saved in the experiment directory.
This may be very useful for inspecting the values defined for each parameters and making sure that all
the parameters are defined as expected.
:param render:
If set to True, the environment render function will be called for each step, rendering the image of the
environment. This may affect the performance of training, and is highly dependent on the environment.
By default, Coach uses PyGame to render the environment image instead of the environment specific rendered.
To change this, use the native_rendering flag.
:param native_rendering:
If set to True, the environment native renderer will be used for rendering the environment image.
In some cases this can be slower than rendering using PyGame through Coach, but in other cases the
environment opens its native renderer by default, so rendering with PyGame is an unnecessary overhead.
:param max_fps_for_human_control:
The maximum number of frames per second used while playing the environment as a human. This only has
effect while using the --play flag for Coach.
:param tensorboard:
If set to True, TensorBoard summaries will be stored in the experiment directory. This can later be
loaded in TensorBoard in order to visualize the training process.
:param video_dump_methods:
A list of dump methods that will be used as filters for deciding when to save videos.
The filters in the list will be checked one after the other until the first dump method that returns
false for should_dump() in the environment class. This list will only be used if dump_mp4 or dump_gif are
set to True.
:param add_rendered_image_to_env_response:
Some environments have a different observation compared to the one displayed while rendering.
For some cases it can be useful to pass the rendered image to the agent for visualization purposes.
If this flag is set to True, the rendered image will be added to the environment EnvResponse object,
which will be passed to the agent and allow using those images.
