Abstract:
We propose accelerated methods for deep reinforcement learning that enable state-of-the-art large scale experiments with simulated environments on limited hardware. We break down performance bottlenecks of reinforcement learning and discuss optimization techniques such as asynchronous experience collection for heterogeneous learning systems, large-batch rendering for high throughput simulation, and end-to-end training systems design that leverages fast GPU-based simulators. The proposal includes a case study of multiple reinforcement learning projects which heavily rely on accelerated training: from agents that learn how to execute instructions spoken in natural language to quadrotor drones trained in a simulated environment and deployed in the real world.
