  最近再改一个代码，需要改成PPO方式的，由于之前没有接触过此类算法，因此进行了简单学习，论文没有看的很详细，重点看了实现部分，这里只做简单记录。
  这里附上论文链接，需要的可以详细看一下。
   Proximal Policy Optimization Algorithms.

一、PPO算法

  PPO算法本质上是一个On-Policy的算法，它可以对采样到的样本进行多次利用，在一定程度上解决样本利用率低的问题，收到较好的效果。论文里有两种实现方式，一种是结合KL的penalty的，另一种是clip裁断的方法。大部分都是采用的后者，本文记录的也主要是后者的实现。

二、伪代码

  在网上找了一下伪代码，大概两类，前者是Open AI的，比较精炼，后者是Deepmind的，写的比较详细，在这里同时附上.

三、相关的简单理论

1.ratio

  这里的比例ratio，是两种策略下动作的概率比，而在程序实现中，用的是对动作分布取对数，而后使用e指数相减的方法，具体实现如下所示：

action_logprobs = dist.log_prob(action)
ratios = torch.exp(logprobs - old_logprobs.detach())

2.裁断

  其中，裁断对应的部分如下图所示：

  上述公式代表的含义如下：
  clip公式含义.

  这里我是这样理解的：
  (1)如果A>0,说明现阶段的(st,at)相对较好，那么我们希望该二元组出现的概率越高越好，即ratio中的分子越大越好，但是分母分子不能差太多，因此需要加一个上限;
  (2)如果A<0,说明现阶段的(st,at)相对较差，那么我们希望该二元组出现的概率越低越好，即ratio中的分子越小越好，但是分母分子不能差太多，因此需要加一个下限.

3.Advantage的计算

  论文里计算At的方式如下，在一些情况下可以令lamda为1；还有一种更常用的计算方式是VAE，这里不进行描述.。

  对应的代码块如下：

 def update(self, memory):
        # Monte Carlo estimate of rewards:
        rewards = []
        discounted_reward = 0
        for reward, is_terminal in zip(reversed(memory.rewards), reversed(memory.is_terminals)):
            if is_terminal:
                discounted_reward = 0
            discounted_reward = reward + (self.gamma * discounted_reward)
            rewards.insert(0, discounted_reward)

4.loss的计算

  这里的第一项，对应裁断项,需要计算ratio和Advantage，之后进行裁断；
  这里的第二项，对应的为对应的值的均方误差;
  这里的第三项，为交叉熵
  程序的实现如下所示：

surr1 = ratios * advantages
surr2 = torch.clamp(ratios, 1 - self.eps_clip, 1 + self.eps_clip) * advantages
loss = -torch.min(surr1, surr2) + 0.5 * self.MseLoss(state_values, rewards) - 0.01 * dist_entropy

四、算法实现

  这里算法的实现参考了一位博主
  PPO代码.

五、效果

  可以看到经过一段时间的训练，奖励有了一定升高.

六、感悟

  感悟是对改的项目的总结，和本文没有什么关系。
  这次改的项目参考了PPO的代码，架子基本也是搭好的，所以改起来也没有想象的那么困难。但应该是我第一次改代码，之前只是看代码，从来没有尝试改过那么多，可以感觉到看代码和改代码这两个能力间差的真的很多，写代码就更困难了emm，可以说经过这一次，可以更好的看到和别人的差距，不过对自己也有很大提高。在以后的学习中，还是需要多看多写，逐步提高。
