d3rlpy: An offline deep reinforcement learning library

d3rlpy is an offline deep reinforcement learning library for practitioners and researchers.

import d3rlpy

dataset, env = d3rlpy.datasets.get_dataset("hopper-medium-v0")

# prepare algorithm
sac = d3rlpy.algos.SACConfig(compile_graph=True).create(device="cuda:0")

# train offline
sac.fit(dataset, n_steps=1000000)

# train online
sac.fit_online(env, n_steps=1000000)

# ready to control
actions = sac.predict(x)

• Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.03788

[!IMPORTANT] v2.x.x introduces breaking changes. If you still stick to v1.x.x, please explicitly install previous versions (e.g. pip install d3rlpy==1.1.1).

Key features

:zap: Most Practical RL Library Ever

• offline RL: d3rlpy supports state-of-the-art offline RL algorithms. Offline RL is extremely powerful when the online interaction is not feasible during training (e.g. robotics, medical).
• online RL: d3rlpy also supports conventional state-of-the-art online training algorithms without any compromising, which means that you can solve any kinds of RL problems only with d3rlpy.

:beginner: User-friendly API

• zero-knowledge of DL library: d3rlpy provides many state-of-the-art algorithms through intuitive APIs. You can become a RL engineer even without knowing how to use deep learning libraries.
• extensive documentation: d3rlpy is fully documented and accompanied with tutorials and reproduction scripts of the original papers.

:rocket: Beyond State-of-the-art

• distributional Q function: d3rlpy is the first library that supports distributional Q functions in the all algorithms. The distributional Q function is known as the very powerful method to achieve the state-of-the-performance.
• data-prallel distributed training: d3rlpy is the first library that supports data-parallel distributed offline RL training, which allows you to scale up offline RL with multiple GPUs or nodes. See example.

Atari 2600

import d3rlpy

# prepare dataset (1% dataset)
dataset, env = d3rlpy.datasets.get_atari_transitions(
    'breakout',
    fraction=0.01,
    num_stack=4,
)

# prepare algorithm
cql = d3rlpy.algos.DiscreteCQLConfig(

    reward_scaler=d3rlpy.preprocessing.ClipRewardScaler(-1.0, 1.0),
    compile_graph=True,
).create(device='cuda:0')

# start training
cql.fit(
    dataset,
    n_steps=1000000,
    evaluators={"environment": d3rlpy.metrics.EnvironmentEvaluator(env, epsilon=0.001)},
)

Online Training

import d3rlpy
import gym

# prepare environment
env = gym.make('Hopper-v3')
eval_env = gym.make('Hopper-v3')

# prepare algorithm
sac = d3rlpy.algos.SACConfig(compile_graph=True).create(device='cuda:0')

# prepare replay buffer
buffer = d3rlpy.dataset.create_fifo_replay_buffer(limit=1000000, env=env)

# start training
sac.fit_online(env, buffer, n_steps=1000000, eval_env=eval_env)
