Gioca con l'entropia

Se non hai mai incontrato prima il concetto di entropia, può essere utile prenderci confidenza con un esempio.

Costruirai una funzione plot_probabilities che prende in argomento una lista di probabilità. Calcola l'entropia e visualizza le probabilità in un grafico a barre.

Sperimentando con l'entropia, dovresti notare che l'entropia è più alta quando la distribuzione di probabilità è distribuita su molte azioni.

La classe torch.distribution.Categorical è caricata nel tuo ambiente come Categorical; questa classe ha un metodo, .entropy(), che restituisce l'entropia in nat.

Istruzioni dell'esercizio

Ottieni l'entropia della distribuzione di probabilità in nat.
Per comodità, converti l'entropia da nat a bit.
Prova a usare un'altra lista come input per la funzione.

Dive into Deep Q-learning by implementing the original DQN algorithm, featuring Experience Replay, epsilon-greediness and fixed Q-targets. Beyond DQN, you will then explore two fascinating extensions that improve the performance and stability of Deep Q-learning: Double DQN and Prioritized Experience Replay.

Learn about the foundational concepts of policy gradient methods found in DRL. You will begin with the policy gradient theorem, which forms the basis for these methods. Then, you will implement the REINFORCE algorithm, a powerful approach to learning policies. The chapter will then guide you through Actor-Critic methods, focusing on the Advantage Actor-Critic (A2C) algorithm, which combines the strengths of both policy gradient and value-based methods to enhance learning efficiency and stability.

Explore Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) for robust DRL performance. Next, you will examine using an entropy bonus in PPO, which encourages exploration by preventing premature convergence to deterministic policies. You'll also learn about batch updates in policy gradient methods. Finally, you will learn about hyperparameter optimization with Optuna, a powerful tool for optimizing performance in your DRL models.
