- center_advs(advs, axes, eps, offset=0, scale=1, name='center_adv')¶
Normalize the advs tensor.
This calculates the mean and variance using the axes specified and normalizes the tensor using those values.
- Parameters
advs (tf.Tensor) – Tensor to normalize.
axes (array[int]) – Axes along which to compute the mean and variance.
eps (float) – Small number to avoid dividing by zero.
offset (tf.Tensor) – Offset added to the normalized tensor. This is zero by default.
scale (tf.Tensor) – Scale to apply to the normalized tensor. This is 1 by default but can also be None.
name (string) – Name of the operation. None by default.
- Returns
Normalized, scaled and offset tensor.
- Return type
tf.Tensor
- compile_function(inputs, outputs)¶
Compiles a tensorflow function using the current session.
- compute_advantages(discount, gae_lambda, max_len, baselines, rewards, name='compute_advantages')¶
Calculate advantages.
Advantages are a discounted cumulative sum.
The discount cumulative sum can be represented as an IIR filter ob the reversed input vectors, i.e.
y[t] - discount*y[t+1] = x[t], or rev(y)[t] - discount*rev(y)[t-1] = rev(x)[t]
Given the time-domain IIR filter step response, we can calculate the filter response to our signal by convolving the signal with the filter response function. The time-domain IIR step response is calculated below as discount_filter:
discount_filter = [1, discount, discount^2, …, discount^N-1] where the epsiode length is N.
We convolve discount_filter with the reversed time-domain signal deltas to calculate the reversed advantages:
rev(advantages) = discount_filter (X) rev(deltas)
TensorFlow’s tf.nn.conv1d op is not a true convolution, but actually a cross-correlation, so its input and output are already implicitly reversed for us.
advantages = discount_filter (tf.nn.conv1d) deltas
- Parameters
discount (float) – Discount factor.
gae_lambda (float) – Lambda, as used for Generalized Advantage Estimation (GAE).
max_len (int) – Maximum length of a single episode.
baselines (tf.Tensor) – A 2D vector of value function estimates with shape \((N, T)\), where \(N\) is the batch dimension (number of episodes) and \(T\) is the maximum episode length experienced by the agent.
rewards (tf.Tensor) – A 2D vector of per-step rewards with shape \((N, T)\), where \(N\) is the batch dimension (number of episodes) and \(T\) is the maximum episode length experienced by the agent.
name (string) – Name of the operation.
- Returns
- A 2D vector of calculated advantage values with shape
\((N, T)\), where \(N\) is the batch dimension (number of episodes) and \(T\) is the maximum episode length experienced by the agent.
- Return type

In other words, each time we want to keep tau of the var and add (1 - tau) of target_var to var.
