"""Example showing how to train TQC on the Pendulum-v1 classic control environment.
TQC (Truncated Quantile Critics) is an extension of SAC that uses distributional
critics with quantile regression to reduce overestimation bias. This example
demonstrates TQC on a simple continuous control task suitable for quick experiments.
This example:
- Trains on Pendulum-v1, a classic swing-up control task with continuous actions
- Uses truncated quantile critics with 25 quantiles and 2 critics
- Drops the top 2 quantiles per network to reduce overestimation bias
- Employs prioritized experience replay with 100K capacity
- Scales learning rates based on the number of learners for distributed training
- Uses mixed n-step returns (2 to 5 steps) for improved sample efficiency
- Expects to achieve episode returns of approximately -250 within 20K timesteps
How to run this script
----------------------
`python pendulum_tqc.py`
To run with different configuration:
`python pendulum_tqc.py --num-env-runners=2`
To scale up with distributed learning using multiple learners and env-runners:
`python pendulum_tqc.py --num-learners=2 --num-env-runners=8`
To use a GPU-based learner add the number of GPUs per learners:
`python pendulum_tqc.py --num-learners=1 --num-gpus-per-learner=1`
For debugging, use the following additional command line options
`--no-tune --num-env-runners=0`
which should allow you to set breakpoints anywhere in the RLlib code and
have the execution stop there for inspection and debugging.
For logging to your WandB account, use:
`--wandb-key=[your WandB API key] --wandb-project=[some project name]
--wandb-run-name=[optional: WandB run name (within the defined project)]`
Results to expect
-----------------
With default settings, this example should achieve an episode return of around -250
within 20,000 timesteps. The Pendulum environment has a maximum possible return of 0
(perfect balancing), with typical good performance in the -200 to -300 range.
