Architecting and Visualizing Deep Reinforcement Learning Models
share
To meet the growing interest in Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL), we sought to construct a DRL-driven Atari Pong agent and accompanying visualization tool. Existing approaches do not support the flexibility required to create an interactive exhibit with easily-configurable physics and a human-controlled player. Therefore, we constructed a new Pong game environment, discovered and addressed a number of unique data deficiencies that arise when applying DRL to a new environment, architected and tuned a policy gradient based DRL model, developed a real-time network visualization, and combined these elements into an interactive display to help build intuition and awareness of the mechanics of DRL inference.
