Jack of All Trades, Master of Some, a Multi-Purpose Transformer Agent

Installation

To get started with JAT, follow these steps:

1. Clone this repository onto your local machine.

   git clone https://github.com/huggingface/jat.git
   cd jat

2. Create a new virtual environment and activate it, and install required dependencies via pip.

   python3 -m venv env
   source env/bin/activate
   # all deps
   pip install .[dev]
   # training deps
   pip install .[train]
   # eval deps
   pip install .[eval]
   

Demonstration of the trained agent

The trained JAT agent is available here. The following script gives an example of the use of this agent on the Pong environment

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoProcessor
from jat.eval.rl import make

# Load the model and the processor
model_name_or_path = "jat-project/jat"
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(model_name_or_path, trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name_or_path, trust_remote_code=True).to("cuda")

# Make the environment
env = make("atari-pong", render_mode="human")

observation, info = env.reset()
reward = None
done = False
model.reset_rl()  # clear key-value cache
while not done:
    action = model.get_next_action(processor, **observation, reward=reward, action_space=env.action_space)
    observation, reward, termined, truncated, info = env.step(action)
    done = termined or truncated

    if done and "episode" not in info:  # handle "fake done" for atari
        observation, info = env.reset()
        done = False

env.close()

Usage Examples

Here are some examples of how you might use JAT in both evaluation and fine-tuning modes. More detailed information about each example is provided within the corresponding script files.

• Evaluating JAT: Evaluate pretrained JAT models on specific downstream tasks

  python scripts/eval_jat.py --model_name_or_path jat-project/jat --tasks atari-pong --trust_remote_code

• Training JAT: Train your own JAT model from scratch (run on 8xA100)

  accelerate launch scripts/train_jat_tokenized.py \
  --output_dir checkpoints/jat_small_v100 \
  --model_name_or_path jat-project/jat-small \
  --tasks all \
  --trust_remote_code \
  --per_device_train_batch_size 20 \
  --gradient_accumulation_steps 2 \
  --save_steps 10000 \
  --run_name train_jat_small \
  --logging_steps 100 \
  --logging_first_step \
  --dispatch_batches False \
  --dataloader_num_workers 16 \
  --max_steps 250000 \

For further details regarding usage, consult the documentation included with individual script files.

Dataset

You can find the training dataset used to train the JAT model at this Hugging Face dataset repo. The dataset contains a large selection of Reinforcement Learning, textual and multimodal tasks:

Reinforment Learning tasks

• Atari 57
• BabyAI
• Meta-World
• MuJoCo

Textual tasks

• Wikipedia
• OSCAR

Visual Question answering tasks

• OK VQA
• Conceptual Captions

Usage:

>>> from datasets import load_dataset
>>> dataset = load_dataset("jat-project/jat-dataset", "metaworld-assembly")
>>> first_episode = dataset["train"][0]
>>> first_episode.keys()
dict_keys(['continuous_observations', 'continuous_actions', 'rewards'])
>>> len(first_episode["rewards"])
500
>>> first_episode["continuous_actions"][0]
[6.459120273590088, 2.2422609329223633, -5.914587020874023, -19.799840927124023]
