Experiment on Pendulum-v0

# Generate expert trajectories
$ python examples/run_sac.py --env-name=Pendulum-v0 --save-test-path --test-interval=100000 --max-steps 100000 --test-episodes=20 --gpu -1

# VAIL
$ python examples/run_vail_ddpg.py --env-name=Pendulum-v0 --test-interval=5000 --expert-path-dir results/20190706T231341.308287_SAC_ --gpu -1
# VAIL with Spectral Normalization
$ python examples/run_vail_ddpg.py --env-name=Pendulum-v0 --test-interval=5000 --expert-path-dir results/20190706T231341.308287_SAC_ --gpu -1 --enable-sn --dir-suffix SN

Results

  • Score
    • The maximum score is 0.
    • VAIL is unstable. Adding Spectral Normalization stabilizes learning and improves score.

  • DDPG loss

Experiment on HalfCheetah-v2

# Generate expert trajectories
$ python examples/run_sac.py --env-name=HalfCheetah-v2 --save-test-path --test-interval=500000 --max-steps 500000 --test-episodes=20 --gpu -1

# VAIL
$ python examples/run_vail_ddpg.py --env-name=HalfCheetah-v2 --test-interval=5000 --expert-path-dir results/20190707T094429.686303_SAC_ --gpu -1
# VAIL_SN

# GAIL
$ python examples/run_gail_ddpg.py --env-name=HalfCheetah-v2 --test-interval=5000 --expert-path-dir results/20190707T094429.686303_SAC_ --gpu -1
# GAIL_SN
$ python examples/run_gail_ddpg.py --env-name=HalfCheetah-v2 --test-interval=5000 --expert-path-dir results/20190707T094429.686303_SAC_ --gpu -1 --enable-sn --dir-suffix _SN

Results

  • All algorithm reproduced the expert score (~9000)
    • Note: SAC can achieve around 12000, but cut training with 0.5M steps to save time.
  • No big difference between GAIL, VAIL even utilizing Spectral Normalization
    • Gray: VAIL, Orange: VAIL + SN, Red: GAIL, Blue: GAIL + SN, Green: Expert (SAC)

TensorBoard output

  • Score

190707_VAIL_GAIL_HalfCheetah_score

- VAIL

190707_VAIL_HalfCheetah

- GAIL

190707_GAIL_HalfCheetah

Hi @keiohta
I couldn't reproduce the same results, I got this error for HalfCheetah:

Hi @sasayesh , thanks for reporting the error. I'll try to reproduce the bug on Wednesday.
