Additional Parameters¶
VisualizationParameters¶
-
class
rl_coach.base_parameters.
VisualizationParameters
(print_networks_summary=False, dump_csv=True, dump_signals_to_csv_every_x_episodes=5, dump_gifs=False, dump_mp4=False, video_dump_methods=None, dump_in_episode_signals=False, dump_parameters_documentation=True, render=False, native_rendering=False, max_fps_for_human_control=10, tensorboard=False, add_rendered_image_to_env_response=False)[source]¶ - Parameters
print_networks_summary – If set to True, a summary of all the networks structure will be printed at the beginning of the experiment
dump_csv – If set to True, the logger will dump logs to a csv file once in every dump_signals_to_csv_every_x_episodes episodes. The logs can be later used to visualize the training process using Coach Dashboard.
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.
dump_gifs – If set to True, GIF videos of the environment will be stored into the experiment directory according to the filters defined in video_dump_methods.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
