Reinforcement Learning with Action-Free Pre-Training from Videos

Implementation of the APV in TensorFlow 2. Our code is based on the implementation of DreamerV2. We also provide the raw data we used for reporting our main experimental results in data directory.

Method

APV is a pre-training and fine-tuning framework for model-based RL algorithms: we first pre-train an action-free latent video prediction model, and then utilize the pre-trained representations for efficiently learning action-conditional world models on unseen environments.

Run video pre-training (if you want to run pre-training by yourself):

python apv_pretraining/train_video.py --logdir {save path} --load_logdir {dataset path consisting of npzs} --configs metaworld_pretrain

Run Meta-world experiments:

python apv_finetuning/train.py --logdir {save path} --load_logdir {path to the pre-trained models} --configs metaworld --task metaworld_lever_pull

Run DeepMind Control Suite experiments:

python apv_finetuning/train.py --logdir {save path} --load_logdir {path to the pre-trained models} --configs dmc_vision --task dmc_quadruped_walk

Tips

• Use TF_XLA_FLAGS=--tf_xla_auto_jit=2 to accelerate the training. This requires properly setting your CUDA and CUDNN paths in our machine. You can check this whether which ptxas gives you a path to the CUDA/bin path in your machine.

• Also see the tips available in DreamerV2 repository.
