[docs]class DQNLoss(LossModule):
"""The DQN Loss class.
Args:
value_network (QValueActor or nn.Module): a Q value operator.
Keyword Args:
loss_function (str, optional): loss function for the value discrepancy. Can be one of "l1", "l2" or "smooth_l1".
Defaults to "l2".
delay_value (bool, optional): whether to duplicate the value network
into a new target value network to
create a DQN with a target network. Default is ``True``.
double_dqn (bool, optional): whether to use Double DQN, as described in
https://arxiv.org/abs/1509.06461. Defaults to ``False``.
action_space (str or TensorSpec, optional): Action space. Must be one of
``"one-hot"``, ``"mult_one_hot"``, ``"binary"`` or ``"categorical"``,
or an instance of the corresponding specs (:class:`torchrl.data.OneHot`,
:class:`torchrl.data.MultiOneHot`,
:class:`torchrl.data.Binary` or :class:`torchrl.data.Categorical`).
If not provided, an attempt to retrieve it from the value network
will be made.
priority_key (NestedKey, optional): [Deprecated, use .set_keys(priority_key=priority_key) instead]
The key at which priority is assumed to be stored within TensorDicts added
to this ReplayBuffer. This is to be used when the sampler is of type
:class:`~torchrl.data.PrioritizedSampler`. Defaults to ``"td_error"``.
reduction (str, optional): Specifies the reduction to apply to the output:
``"none"`` | ``"mean"`` | ``"sum"``. ``"none"``: no reduction will be applied,
``"mean"``: the sum of the output will be divided by the number of
elements in the output, ``"sum"``: the output will be summed. Default: ``"mean"``.
Examples:
>>> from torchrl.modules import MLP
>>> from torchrl.data import OneHot
>>> n_obs, n_act = 4, 3
>>> value_net = MLP(in_features=n_obs, out_features=n_act)
>>> spec = OneHot(n_act)
>>> actor = QValueActor(value_net, in_keys=["observation"], action_space=spec)
>>> loss = DQNLoss(actor, action_space=spec)
>>> batch = [10,]
>>> data = TensorDict({
... "observation": torch.randn(*batch, n_obs),
... "action": spec.rand(batch),
... ("next", "observation"): torch.randn(*batch, n_obs),
... ("next", "done"): torch.zeros(*batch, 1, dtype=torch.bool),
... ("next", "terminated"): torch.zeros(*batch, 1, dtype=torch.bool),
... ("next", "reward"): torch.randn(*batch, 1)
... }, batch)
>>> loss(data)
TensorDict(
fields={
loss: Tensor(shape=torch.Size([]), device=cpu, dtype=torch.float32, is_shared=False)},
batch_size=torch.Size([]),
device=None,
is_shared=False)
This class is compatible with non-tensordict based modules too and can be
used without recurring to any tensordict-related primitive. In this case,
the expected keyword arguments are:
``["observation", "next_observation", "action", "next_reward", "next_done", "next_terminated"]``,
and a single loss value is returned.
Examples:
>>> from torchrl.objectives import DQNLoss
>>> from torchrl.data import OneHot
>>> from torch import nn
>>> import torch
>>> n_obs = 3
>>> n_action = 4
>>> action_spec = OneHot(n_action)
>>> value_network = nn.Linear(n_obs, n_action) # a simple value model
>>> dqn_loss = DQNLoss(value_network, action_space=action_spec)
>>> # define data
>>> observation = torch.randn(n_obs)
>>> next_observation = torch.randn(n_obs)
>>> action = action_spec.rand()
>>> next_reward = torch.randn(1)
>>> next_done = torch.zeros(1, dtype=torch.bool)
>>> next_terminated = torch.zeros(1, dtype=torch.bool)
>>> loss_val = dqn_loss(
... observation=observation,
... next_observation=next_observation,
... next_reward=next_reward,
... next_done=next_done,
... next_terminated=next_terminated,
... action=action)
