Softwares



Tonic: A Deep Reinforcement Learning Library for Fast Prototyping and Benchmarking
  • a collection of configurable modules such as: exploration strategies, memories, neural networks, and optimizers
  • a collection of baseline agents built with these modules
  • support for the two most popular deep learning frameworks: TensorFlow and PyTorch
  • support for the three most popular sets of continuous control environments: OpenAI Gym, DeepMind Control Suite and PyBullet
  • a large-scale benchmark of the baseline agents on 70 tasks
  • scripts to train in a reproducible way, plot results, and play with trained agents.
