Hey anuj

This is excellent for understanding. I'm having some trouble to get into understanding - pytorch is for me the RL which is used as gym/training. There I can chose ppo, dnq and other agents to perform some predefined actions in a predefined gym/world.

The repo you are showing - I really have problems to get it into RL understanding of mine. What's the gym? What are the agents. Can it be used to train that models with pytorch?

Sorry for the noob question. Papers are overwhelming my noob brain.

Not the poster, but maybe I can help.

Your comment is a little unclear, so it‘s hard to parse your exact question. But it seems you are conflating 3 things, PyTorch, RL and Gym/Training (?).

– PyTorch is a framework which lets you define neural network models.

– RL is a collection of methods to train neural networks (change the network parameters to improve its performance).

– An RL-Gym is a framework to apply the neural networks to some problem. This lets you collect the data necessary to later use the methods of RL to train your model.
