Tensorflow implementation of the map reading algorithm described in ‘Teaching a Machine to Read Maps with Deep Reinforcement Learning’. This folder includes a copy of the DeepMind lab (https://github.com/deepmind/lab) in which adjustments were made such that the environment is suited for the problem specified in the paper. We started our implementation from a reimplementation of the UNREAL agent (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1611.05397.pdf) done by miyosuda (https://github.com/miyosuda/unreal). Code fragments from this implementation remain in our code.

Download the lab folder, install the dependencies required and run the following comment from the lab directory on your system:
$ bazel run //mapreader:train --define headless=osmesa
To view the agent's interactions with the environment, run the following comment from the lab subdirectory:
$ bazel run //mapreader:display --define headless=osmesa
The ‘mapreader_maps’ directory includes all training and test maps described in the paper. To display specific maps, replace the two folders “maps” and “dmlab_level_data” in the directory ‘lab\assets’ with the corresponding folders from ‘mapreader_maps’. Note that the compilation of new maps can take quite some time. To display a specific map, replace the two numbers in the line
DISPLAY_LEVEL = [120,0]
in the file ‘lab\mapreader\constants.py’ with the 2 numbers of the map you’d like to display (given in the map name). Then run the display command above.
You can find the checkpoints of the trained agent which was used for the evaluation in the paper in the folder ‘trained_agent’. To display the trained agent copy the folder ‘mapreader_checkoints’ into your ‘/tmp’ directory and run the display command above.
