Reinforcement Learning (RL) Project

Project Description

We employ the Actor-Critic, Reinforce with Baseline, and Episodic n-step SARSA algorithms to acquire an optimal policy for distinct Markov Decision Processes (MDPs), specifically, MountainCar-v0, Acrobot-v0, and CarPole-v1 from the OpenAI Gym library. Systematic experimentation has been conducted on both hyperparameters and model architecture, leading in the presentation of results for the most effective configuration.

File Contents

• Actor Critic Final.py
  • Contains the implementation of the Actor-Critic algorithm, a reinforcement learning technique combining policy (Actor) and value function (Critic) approximation to enhance learning efficiency.
• REINFORCE with Baseline Final.py:
  • Encompasses the implementation of the REINFORCE algorithm with Baseline, a policy gradient method incorporating a baseline to reduce variance in gradient estimates.
• Semi-Gradient-SARSA Final.py
  • Houses the implementation of the Semi-Gradient-SARSA algorithm, a temporal difference learning method applied in reinforcement learning scenarios for updating Q-values and optimizing policy.
