Monte-Carlo Planning and Learning with Language Action Value Estimates

This repository is the implementation of "Monte-Carlo Planning and Learning with Language Action Value Estimates"

Requirements

To install requirements:

conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate mc-lave-rl
python -m spacy download en_core_web_lg
python -m spacy download en

Monte-Carlo Tree Search (MCTS)

To run the data collection with MCTS for initial iteration, run this command with :

python run_planning.py --seed=$SEED --trial=0

(For each planning, use --seed option with different index)

All experiments in the paper were conducted with Google Cloud Platform(GCP) and HTCondor to run in parallel. If you want to run the experiment in parallel, we reccomend to set up the HTCondor and environment on your GCP account.

Merge planning trajectories and experience replays

To merge the data for learning the Q-network and policy, run this command:

python merge_plans.py

Train the Q-network and policy

To run the Q-network and policy with collected data, run this command:

(train Q-network) python run_learning.py --mode=0
(train policy) python run_learning.py --mode 1

Monte-Carlo Planning with Language Action Value Estimates (MC-LAVE)

To run the MC-LAVE planning with trained Q-network and policy, run this command with :

python run_planning.py --seed=$SEED --trial=1

(For each iteration, use --trial option with iteration number)
