如何入门强化学习
前言
很多同学在入门强化学习的时候都会遇到困难，那我这里就简单介绍一下应该如何入门强化学习，并以开源代码为例详解强化学习实战。
一、强化学习学习之路
这边首先推荐莫凡python，人工智能的初学者如果不知道莫凡，那可真是纵称英雄也枉然。
他的官网长这样，链接在此！
链接: https://mofanpy.com/.
莫凡python的内容以简单著称，每个视频只有短短几分钟，长一点的也就20分钟左右，能够迅速的帮你入门强化学习，但是仅仅看这个是不够的，还需要扎实的理论基础，那就需要转战B站。
Bilibili有UCL大学的David Silver教授教学的Reinforcement learning课程。
链接在此！链接: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1kb411i7KG?from=search&seid=15348457829154001765&spm_id_from=333.337.0.0.
David Silver教授推导出了DPG公式，非常厉害的一个人物，所以他的课程必听！
这个课程主要以公式推导为主，能够让初学者对强化学习的基础公式推导有一定的了解，例如贝尔曼公式。
当然B站李宏毅老师的强化学习课程也非常值得一听，但是我个人觉得他和莫凡python的课程差不多，但是他没有代码层面的教学，他的课程更多是在理论推导和科普介绍…
最后最后，我要推荐一本书籍，这本书籍也非常适用于初学者，Sutton的书很厚，我个人觉得不适用于初学者。
清华大学出版社邹伟老师出品的强化学习，结合了很多莫凡Python的代码，能够很好的将理论与实际相结合，很多代码都有注释，能够迅速帮初学者入门。
二、开源代码DDPG详解
如果说到强化学习，那么必须要会的就是Python和Gym
代码从Github上搜索DDPG就能够获取，这里采用的是floodsung的项目。
关键的几个文件：
actor_network
critic.network
ddpg//用于将各个模块连在一起
gym_ddpg//主文件，用于将DDPG与环境互动
ou_noise//Ou噪声
replay_buffer//经验存储
代码如下（示例）：
//ou_noise
import numpy as np
import numpy.random as nr
class OUNoise:
"""docstring for OUNoise"""
def __init__(self,action_dimension,mu=0, theta=0.15, sigma=0.2):
self.action_dimension = action_dimension
self.mu = mu
self.theta = theta
self.sigma = sigma
self.state = np.ones(self.action_dimension) * self.mu
self.reset()
def reset(self):
self.state = np.ones(self.action_dimension) * self.mu
def noise(self): //按照公式建立OU噪声，更符合时间序列的样本
x = self.state
dx = self.theta * (self.mu - x) + self.sigma * nr.randn(len(x))
self.state = x + dx
return self.state
//以下内容用不到，只是看一看ou噪声是啥
if __name__ == '__main__':
ou = OUNoise(3)
states = []
for i in range(1000):
states.append(ou.noise())
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot(states)
plt.show()
//replay_buffer
from collections import deque
import random
class ReplayBuffer(object):
def __init__(self, buffer_size):
self.buffer_size = buffer_size
self.num_experiences = 0
self.buffer = deque()
def get_batch(self, batch_size)://随机批量获取，用于训练
# Randomly sample batch_size examples
return random.sample(self.buffer, batch_size)
def size(self):
return self.buffer_size
//将agent与环境互动的情况存储在buffer中，如果超过最大存储量，就删去最早的。
def add(self, state, action, reward, new_state, done):
experience = (state, action, reward, new_state, done)
if self.num_experiences < self.buffer_size:
self.buffer.append(experience)
self.num_experiences += 1
else:
self.buffer.popleft()
self.buffer.append(experience)
//计数，一般用不到
def count(self):
# if buffer is full, return buffer size
# otherwise, return experience counter
return self.num_experiences
//删除，一般用不到

0基础初学者学习强化学习我觉得大概花费一个月的时间是比较合适的，如果学习无人驾驶车辆的同学，强烈建议使用Carla仿真软件！个人认为强化学习最难的还是设计奖励函数，为了奖励函数的设计，还专门有一类方法，逆强化学习，这也是一门很深的学问啊！
