How to Code RL Agents Like DeepMind

DeepMind is known for leading the way in deep reinforcement learning research. Creating novel agents to conquer the most advanced environments requires the use of some sophisticated infrastructure. Fortunately for us mere mortals, they’ve open sourced their framework for designing deep reinforcement learning agents: ACME. In ACME, you’ll find everything from deep Q learning all the way up to the R2D2 algorithm. Better yet, it includes all the building blocks to start creating your own custom agents. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to setup ACME and get started making our own deep Q learning and deep deterministic policy gradient agent.
