REINFORCEjs (fork)

REINFORCEjs is a Reinforcement Learning library by Andrej Karpathy that implements several common RL algorithms, all with web demos. In particular, the library currently includes:

• Dynamic Programming methods
• (Tabular) Temporal Difference Learning (SARSA/Q-Learning)
• Deep Q-Learning for Q-Learning with function approximation with Neural Networks
• Stochastic/Deterministic Policy Gradients and Actor Critic architectures for dealing with continuous action spaces. (very alpha, likely buggy or at the very least finicky and inconsistent)

See the main webpage for many more details, documentation and demos.

This fork adds node.js and ESM support.

Getting Started

Install the library as a dependency:

npm install @neurosity/reinforcejs

The library also includes a fork of Andrej's project recurrentjs with various utilities for building expression graphs (e.g. LSTMs) and performing automatic backpropagation. Agents for reinforncejs include:

• DPAgent for finite state/action spaces with environment dynamics
• TDAgent for finite state/action spaces
• DQNAgent for continuous state features but discrete actions

A typical usage might look something like:

import { DQNAgent } from "@neurosity/reinforcejs";

// create an environment object
const env = {
  getNumStates: () => 8,
  getMaxNumActions: () => 4
};

// create the DQN agent
const spec = { alpha: 0.01 }; // see full options on DQN page
agent = new DQNAgent(env, spec);

setInterval(function () {
  // start the learning loop
  const action = agent.act(s); // s is an array of length 8
  //... execute action in environment and get the reward
  agent.learn(reward); // the agent improves its Q,policy,model, etc. reward is a float
}, 0);

The full documentation and demos are on the main webpage.
