World Models for Space Invaders

This is a World Models agent trained on the SpaceInvadersNoFrameskip-v4 environment.

Model Description

World Models is a model-based reinforcement learning approach that learns a compressed representation of the environment and trains a controller to maximize reward in the learned model.

The architecture consists of three components:

• V (Vision): Variational Autoencoder that compresses 64x64 RGB frames to 32-dimensional latent vectors
• M (Memory): MDN-RNN that predicts the next latent state given current state and action
• C (Controller): Linear policy trained with CMA-ES evolution strategy

Training Details

Hyperparameters

• VAE Latent Dimension: 32
• RNN Hidden Dimension: 256
• Number of Gaussian Mixtures: 5
• Population Size (CMA-ES): 64
• Training Episodes: 100
• VAE Epochs: 10
• RNN Epochs: 20
• Controller Generations: 10

Evaluation Results

• Mean Reward: 506.50 ± 34.57
• Max Reward: 565.00
• Mean Episode Length: 852.00

Usage

import torch
import gymnasium as gym

# Load models
vae = VAE(latent_dim=32)
vae.load_state_dict(torch.load('vae_model.pt'))

rnn = MDNRNN(latent_dim=32, action_dim=6)
rnn.load_state_dict(torch.load('mdnrnn_model.pt'))

controller = Controller(latent_dim=32, hidden_dim=256)
controller.load_state_dict(torch.load('controller_model.pt'))

# Run agent
env = gym.make('SpaceInvadersNoFrameskip-v4')
# ... (see repository for full inference code)
