This repository contains:

Code for training an A3C-LSTM agent using Gated-Attention
Code for Doom-based language grounding environment

Dependencies

ViZDoom
PyTorch
Opencv

(We recommend using Anaconda)

Usage

Using the Environment

For running a random agent:

python env_test.py

To play in the environment:

python env_test.py --interactive 1

To change the difficulty of the environment (easy/medium/hard):

python env_test.py -d easy

Training Gated-Attention A3C-LSTM agent

For training a A3C-LSTM agent with 32 threads:

python a3c_main.py --num-processes 32 --evaluate 0

The code will save the best model at ./saved/model_best.

To the test the pre-trained model for Multitask Generalization:

python a3c_main.py --evaluate 1 --load saved/pretrained_model

To the test the pre-trained model for Zero-shot Task Generalization:

python a3c_main.py --evaluate 2 --load saved/pretrained_model

To the visualize the model while testing add '--visualize 1':

python a3c_main.py --evaluate 2 --load saved/pretrained_model --visualize 1

To test the trained model, use --load saved/model_best in the above commands.

All arguments for a3c_main.py:

  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

  --living-reward LIVING_REWARD
                        Default reward at each time step (default: 0, change
                        to -0.005 to encourage shorter paths)

  -v VISUALIZE, --visualize VISUALIZE
                        Visualize the envrionment (default: 0, use 0 for
                        faster training)
