强化学习(Reinforcement Learning, RL)是一种通过与环境交互,学习如何采取行动以最大化累积奖励的机器学习方法。策略网络(Policy Network)是强化学习中一种重要的模型,它直接输出动作的概率分布或具体的动作。本篇博客将深入探讨策略网络的设计原则、优化技巧,并结合具体实例展示其应用。
策略网络是一种神经网络,它接受当前状态作为输入,输出每个可能动作的概率或具体动作。策略网络通常用于策略梯度方法中,如REINFORCE、Proximal Policy Optimization(PPO)和Actor-Critic方法。
策略梯度方法通过优化策略网络的参数,直接最大化累积奖励的期望值。策略梯度的计算公式为:
[ \nabla J(\theta) = \mathbb{E}{\pi\theta} [ \nabla_\theta \log \pi_\theta(a|s) Q^{\pi_\theta}(s, a) ] ]
其中,( J(\theta) ) 是策略的期望累积奖励,( \pi_\theta ) 是参数化策略,( Q^{\pi_\theta}(s, a) ) 是状态-动作值函数。
基础全连接网络(MLP):适用于处理低维状态输入的任务。设计简单但效果有限。
import torch
import torch.nn as nn
class PolicyNetwork(nn.Module):
def __init__(self, input_dim, output_dim, hidden_dim=128):
super(PolicyNetwork, self).__init__()
self.fc1 = nn.Linear(input_dim, hidden_dim)
self.fc2 = nn.Linear(hidden_dim, hidden_dim)
self.fc3 = nn.Linear(hidden_dim, output_dim)
def forward(self, x):
x = torch.relu(self.fc1(x))
x = torch.relu(self.fc2(x))
x = torch.softmax(self.fc3(x), dim=-1)
return x
卷积神经网络(CNN):适用于处理高维状态输入,如图像数据。CNN通过卷积层提取空间特征。
class PolicyNetworkCNN(nn.Module):
def __init__(self, input_channels, action_dim):
super(PolicyNetworkCNN, self).__init__()
self.conv1 = nn.Conv2d(input_channels, 32, kernel_size=8, stride=4)
self.conv2 = nn.Conv2d(32, 64, kernel_size=4, stride=2)
self.conv3 = nn.Conv2d(64, 64, kernel_size=3, stride=1)
self.fc1 = nn.Linear(64 * 7 * 7, 512)
self.fc2 = nn.Linear(512, action_dim)
def forward(self, x):
x = torch.relu(self.conv1(x))
x = torch.relu(self.conv2(x))
x = torch.relu(self.conv3(x))
x = x.view(x.size(0), -1)
x = torch.relu(self.fc1(x))
x = torch.softmax(self.fc2(x), dim=-1)
return x
循环神经网络(RNN):适用于处理时间序列数据。RNN通过隐藏状态记忆机制,捕捉序列中的时间依赖关系。
class PolicyNetworkRNN(nn.Module):
def __init__(self, input_dim, hidden_dim, output_dim):
super(PolicyNetworkRNN, self).__init__()
self.rnn = nn.GRU(input_dim, hidden_dim, batch_first=True)
self.fc = nn.Linear(hidden_dim, output_dim)
def forward(self, x, h):
out, h = self.rnn(x, h)
out = self.fc(out[:, -1, :])
return torch.softmax(out, dim=-1), h
策略网络的损失函数设计主要包括策略梯度损失和熵正则化项。策略梯度损失用于引导策略网络朝向最大化累积奖励的方向优化,熵正则化项则用于鼓励策略的探索性。
class PolicyGradientLoss(nn.Module):
def __init__(self):
super(PolicyGradientLoss, self).__init__()
def forward(self, log_probs, rewards):
return -torch.mean(log_probs * rewards)
class EntropyLoss(nn.Module):
def __init__(self):
super(EntropyLoss, self).__init__()
def forward(self, probs):
return -torch.mean(torch.sum(probs * torch.log(probs + 1e-10), dim=1))
良好的参数初始化能够加速训练并避免梯度消失或爆炸问题。常用的初始化方法包括Xavier初始化和He初始化。
def weights_init(m):
if isinstance(m, nn.Linear) or isinstance(m, nn.Conv2d):
nn.init.xavier_uniform_(m.weight)
if m.bias is not None:
nn.init.constant_(m.bias, 0)
policy_network.apply(weights_init)
选择合适的优化算法可以显著提高训练效果和速度。Adam和RMSprop是强化学习中常用的优化算法。
optimizer = torch.optim.Adam(policy_network.parameters(), lr=0.001)
动态调整学习率可以帮助模型在训练过程中更好地收敛。常用的方法有学习率衰减和余弦退火。
scheduler = torch.optim.lr_scheduler.StepLR(optimizer, step_size=100, gamma=0.9)
批量归一化和层归一化可以稳定训练过程并加速收敛。
self.bn1 = nn.BatchNorm1d(hidden_dim)
self.bn2 = nn.BatchNorm1d(hidden_dim)

self.conv2 = nn.Conv2d(32, 64, kernel_size=4, stride=2)
self.conv3 = nn.Conv2d(64, 64, kernel_size=3, stride=1)
self.fc1 = nn.Linear(64 * 7 * 7, 512)
self.fc2 = nn.Linear(512, action_dim)
def forward(self, x):
x = torch.relu(self.conv1(x))
x = torch.relu(self.conv2(x))
x = torch.relu(self.conv3(x))
x = x.view(x.size(0), -1)
x = torch.relu(self.fc1(x))
x = torch.softmax(self.fc2(x), dim=-1)
return x

def __init__(self, policy_net, lr=0.0003):
self.policy_net = policy_net

def update(self, states, actions, log_probs, returns, advantages):
policy_loss = []
for state, action, old_log_prob, return_, advantage in zip(states, actions, log_probs, returns, advantages):
new_log_prob = torch.log(self.policy_net(state)[action])
ratio = torch.exp(new_log_prob - old_log_prob)
surr1 = ratio * advantage
surr2 = torch.clamp(ratio, 1.0 - 0.2, 1.0 + 0.2) * advantage
policy_loss.append(-torch.min(surr1, surr2).mean())
self.optimizer.zero_grad()

self.policy_net = policy_net
self.value_net = value_net
self.optimizer = optim.Adam(list(self.policy_net.parameters()) + list(self.value_net.parameters()), lr=lr)
def update(self, states, actions, log_probs, returns):
policy_loss = []
