tf_agents.bandits.policies.mixture_policy.MixturePolicy

A policy that chooses from a set of policies to decide the action.

Inherits From: TFPolicy

mixture_distribution A tfd.Categorical distribution on the domain [0, len(policies) -1]. This distribution is used by the mixture policy to choose which policy to listen to.
policies List of TF Policies. These are the policies that the mixture policy chooses from in every time step.
name The name of this instance of MixturePolicy.

action_spec Describes the TensorSpecs of the Tensors expected by step(action).

action can be a single Tensor, or a nested dict, list or tuple of Tensors.

collect_data_spec Describes the Tensors written when using this policy with an environment.
emit_log_probability Whether this policy instance emits log probabilities or not.
info_spec Describes the Tensors emitted as info by action and distribution.

info can be an empty tuple, a single Tensor, or a nested dict, list or tuple of Tensors.

observation_and_action_constraint_splitter

policy_state_spec Describes the Tensors expected by step(_, policy_state).

policy_state can be an empty tuple, a single Tensor, or a nested dict, list or tuple of Tensors.

policy_step_spec Describes the output of action().
time_step_spec Describes the TimeStep tensors returned by step().
trajectory_spec Describes the Tensors written when using this policy with an environment.
validate_args Whether action & distribution validate input and output args.

Methods

action

View source

Generates next action given the time_step and policy_state.

Args
time_step A TimeStep tuple corresponding to time_step_spec().
policy_state A Tensor, or a nested dict, list or tuple of Tensors representing the previous policy_state.
seed Seed to use if action performs sampling (optional).

Returns
A PolicyStep named tuple containing: action: An action Tensor matching the action_spec. state: A policy state tensor to be fed into the next call to action. info: Optional side information such as action log probabilities.

Raises
RuntimeError If subclass init didn't call super().init. ValueError or TypeError: If validate_args is True and inputs or outputs do not match time_step_spec, policy_state_spec, or policy_step_spec.

distribution

View source

Generates the distribution over next actions given the time_step.

Args
time_step A TimeStep tuple corresponding to time_step_spec().
policy_state A Tensor, or a nested dict, list or tuple of Tensors representing the previous policy_state.

Returns
A PolicyStep named tuple containing:

action: A tf.distribution capturing the distribution of next actions. state: A policy state tensor for the next call to distribution. info: Optional side information such as action log probabilities.

Raises
ValueError or TypeError: If validate_args is True and inputs or outputs do not match time_step_spec, policy_state_spec, or policy_step_spec.

get_initial_state

View source

Returns an initial state usable by the policy.

Args
batch_size Tensor or constant: size of the batch dimension. Can be None in which case no dimensions gets added.

Returns
A nested object of type policy_state containing properly initialized Tensors.

update

View source

Update the current policy with another policy.

This would include copying the variables from the other policy.

Args
policy Another policy it can update from.
tau A float scalar in [0, 1]. When tau is 1.0 (the default), we do a hard update. This is used for trainable variables.
tau_non_trainable A float scalar in [0, 1] for non_trainable variables. If None, will copy from tau.
sort_variables_by_name A bool, when True would sort the variables by name before doing the update.

Returns
An TF op to do the update.
