This code accompanies the FLAIRS '23 paper "Leveraging Graph Networks to Model Environments in Reinforcement Learning", by Viswanath Chadalapaka, Volkan Ustun, and Lixing Liu.
- Install anaconda and the relevant dependencies via env.yml. If env.yml doesn't work, then installing the dependencies from env-simple.yml should also be sufficient to run the project (although without the exact libraries we used, you may get slightly different results from our work).
- Run
python run_experiments.py.
Examine the structure of the configs/experiments.json file. Each of the json blocks in that file represents an experiment that run_experiments.py will run, where the key/value pairs that can be added correspond directly to the flags available for train.py (run python train.py --help to see all of these flags).
There are two options for seeing metrics. The first is to run the collect_stats.ipynb notebook -- if you are on linux, you can simply run through the collect_stats.ipynb notebook after running the experiments and you should see outputs. Otherwise, you may have to edit the notebook to point to the ray_results directory for your OS (on linux, this is ~/ray_rllib).
The second option is to view the results directly in tensorboard. You can run tensorboard to see metrics using tensorboard serve --logdir logs_directory, where logs_directory is the location of the ray_results folder for your OS (again, this should be something like ~/ray_rllib).
To see specific model behavior and specific locations, try running test.py. test.py reads the model checkpoints that are stored in the checkpoints/ folder during training, and runs those for specific starting locations in the simulation.
