Much human and computational effort has aimed to improve how deep reinforcement learning algorithms perform on benchmarks such as the Atari Learning Environment. Comparatively less effort has focused on understanding what has been learned by such methods, and investigating and comparing the representations learned by different families of reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms. Sources of friction include the onerous computational requirements, and general logistical and architectural complications for running Deep RL algorithms at scale. We lessen this friction, by (1) training several algorithms at scale and releasing trained models, (2) integrating with a previous Deep RL model release, and (3) releasing code that makes it easy for anyone to load, visualize, and analyze such models. This paper introduces the Atari Zoo framework, which contains models trained across benchmark Atari games, in an easy-to-use format, as well as code that implements common modes of analysis and connects such models to a popular neural network visualization library. Further, to demonstrate the potential of this dataset and software package, we show initial quantitative and qualitative comparisons between the performance and representations of several deep RL algorithms, highlighting interesting and previously unknown distinctions between them.

It is a widely accepted principle that software without tests has bugs. Testing reinforcement learning agents is especially difficult because of the stochastic nature of both agents and environments, the complexity of state-of-the-art models, and the
sequential nature of their predictions. Recently, the Arcade Learning Environment (ALE) has become one of the most widely used benchmark suites for deep learning research, and state-of-the-art Reinforcement Learning (RL) agents have been shown to routinely equal or exceed human performance on many ALE tasks. Since ALE is based on emulation of original Atari games, the environment does not provide semantically meaningful representations of internal game state. This means that ALE has limited utility as an environment for supporting testing or model introspection. We propose ToyBox, a collection of reimplementations of these games that solves this critical problem and enables robust testing of RL agents.
Model-free reinforcement learning (RL) can be used to learn effective policies for complex tasks, such as Atari games, even from image observations. However, this typically requires very large amounts of interaction -- substantially more, in fact, th
an a human would need to learn the same games. How can people learn so quickly? Part of the answer may be that people can learn how the game works and predict which actions will lead to desirable outcomes. In this paper, we explore how video prediction models can similarly enable agents to solve Atari games with fewer interactions than model-free methods. We describe Simulated Policy Learning (SimPLe), a complete model-based deep RL algorithm based on video prediction models and present a comparison of several model architectures, including a novel architecture that yields the best results in our setting. Our experiments evaluate SimPLe on a range of Atari games in low data regime of 100k interactions between the agent and the environment, which corresponds to two hours of real-time play. In most games SimPLe outperforms state-of-the-art model-free algorithms, in some games by over an order of magnitude.
Reproducibility in reinforcement learning is challenging: uncontrolled stochasticity from many sources, such as the learning algorithm, the learned policy, and the environment itself have led researchers to report the performance of learned agents us
ing aggregate metrics of performance over multiple random seeds for a single environment. Unfortunately, there are still pernicious sources of variability in reinforcement learning agents that make reporting common summary statistics an unsound metric for performance. Our experiments demonstrate the variability of common agents used in the popular OpenAI Baselines repository. We make the case for reporting post-training agent performance as a distribution, rather than a point estimate.
Spiking neural network (SNN), compared with depth neural network (DNN), has faster processing speed, lower energy consumption and more biological interpretability, which is expected to approach Strong AI. Reinforcement learning is similar to learning
in biology. It is of great significance to study the combination of SNN and RL. We propose the reinforcement learning method of spike distillation network (SDN) with STBP. This method uses distillation to effectively avoid the weakness of STBP, which can achieve SOTA performance in classification, and can obtain a smaller, faster convergence and lower power consumption SNN reinforcement learning model. Experiments show that our method can converge faster than traditional SNN reinforcement learning and DNN reinforcement learning methods, about 1000 epochs faster, and obtain SNN 200 times smaller than DNN. We also deploy SDN to the PKU nc64c chip, which proves that SDN has lower power consumption than DNN, and the power consumption of SDN is more than 600 times lower than DNN on large-scale devices. SDN provides a new way of SNN reinforcement learning, and can achieve SOTA performance, which proves the possibility of further development of SNN reinforcement learning.
We introduce a new recurrent agent architecture and associated auxiliary losses which improve reinforcement learning in partially observable tasks requiring long-term memory. We employ a temporal hierarchy, using a slow-ticking recurrent core to allo
w information to flow more easily over long time spans, and three fast-ticking recurrent cores with connections designed to create an information asymmetry. The emph{reaction} core incorporates new observations with input from the slow core to produce the agents policy; the emph{perception} core accesses only short-term observations and informs the slow core; lastly, the emph{prediction} core accesses only long-term memory. An auxiliary loss regularizes policies drawn from all three cores against each other, enacting the prior that the policy should be expressible from either recent or long-term memory. We present the resulting emph{Perception-Prediction-Reaction} (PPR) agent and demonstrate its improved performance over a strong LSTM-agent baseline in DMLab-30, particularly in tasks requiring long-term memory. We further show significant improvements in Capture the Flag, an environment requiring agents to acquire a complicated mixture of skills over long time scales. In a series of ablation experiments, we probe the importance of each component of the PPR agent, establishing that the entire, novel combination is necessary for this intriguing result.
