If a python virtual environment has been setup for the project, a simple pip install -r requirements.txt should take care of the required packages.
Running python run_experiment.py -h (in each assignment folder) should provide a list of options for what you can do.
For the most part it is simple to run a given set of experiments based on a specific algorithm. One flag to consider always including is --threads with a value of -1. This will speed up execution in some cases but also might use all available cores.
The --verbose flag can be helpful to view data about a given dataset or MDP.
For assignments 3 and 4 plotting data is a separate step from generation. For those assignments the --plot flag should be used once data is generated
Each assignment folder should have its own readme with anything specific to not for that assignment.
