Basic Usage: Training, Saving, Loading
--------------------------------------

In the following example, we will train, save and load a DQN model on the Lunar Lander environment.

.. image:: ../_static/img/colab-badge.svg

  Lunar Lander Environment


.. note::
  LunarLander requires the python package ``box2d``.
  You can install it using ``apt install swig`` and then ``pip install box2d box2d-kengz``

.. .. note::
..   ``load`` function re-creates model from scratch on each call, which can be slow.
..   If you need to e.g. evaluate same model with multiple different sets of parameters, consider
..   using ``load_parameters`` instead.

.. code-block:: python

  import gym

  from stable_baselines3 import DQN
  from stable_baselines3.common.evaluation import evaluate_policy


  # Create environment
  env = gym.make('LunarLander-v2')

  # Instantiate the agent
  model = DQN('MlpPolicy', env, verbose=1)
  # Train the agent
  model.learn(total_timesteps=int(2e5))
  # Save the agent
  model.save("dqn_lunar")
  del model  # delete trained model to demonstrate loading

  # Load the trained agent
  model = DQN.load("dqn_lunar", env=env)

  # Evaluate the agent
  # NOTE: If you use wrappers with your environment that modify rewards,
  #       this will be reflected here. To evaluate with original rewards,
  #       wrap environment in a "Monitor" wrapper before other wrappers.
  mean_reward, std_reward = evaluate_policy(model, model.get_env(), n_eval_episodes=10)

  # Enjoy trained agent
  obs = env.reset()
  for i in range(1000):
      action, _states = model.predict(obs, deterministic=True)
      obs, rewards, dones, info = env.step(action)
      env.render()


Multiprocessing: Unleashing the Power of Vectorized Environments

      def _init():
          env = gym.make(env_id)
          env.seed(seed + rank)
          return env
      set_random_seed(seed)
      return _init

  if __name__ == '__main__':
      env_id = "CartPole-v1"

      # Create the vectorized environment
      env = SubprocVecEnv([make_env(env_id, i) for i in range(num_cpu)])

      # Stable Baselines provides you with make_vec_env() helper
      # which does exactly the previous steps for you:
      # env = make_vec_env(env_id, n_envs=num_cpu, seed=0)

      model = PPO('MlpPolicy', env, verbose=1)
      model.learn(total_timesteps=25000)

      obs = env.reset()
      for _ in range(1000):
          action, _states = model.predict(obs)
          obs, rewards, dones, info = env.step(action)
          env.render()


Dict Observations
-----------------

You can use environments with dictionary observation spaces. This is useful in the case where one can't directly
concatenate observations such as an image from a camera combined with a vector of servo sensor data (e.g., rotation angles).
Stable Baselines3 provides ``SimpleMultiObsEnv`` as an example of this kind of of setting.
The environment is a simple grid world but the observations for each cell come in the form of dictionaries.
These dictionaries are randomly initilaized on the creation of the environment and contain a vector observation and an image observation.

.. code-block:: python

  from stable_baselines3 import PPO
  from stable_baselines3.common.envs import SimpleMultiObsEnv


  # Stable Baselines provides SimpleMultiObsEnv as an example environment with Dict observations
  env = SimpleMultiObsEnv(random_start=False)

  model = PPO("MultiInputPolicy", env, verbose=1)
  model.learn(total_timesteps=1e5)


Using Callback: Monitoring Training
-----------------------------------

.. note::

	We recommend reading the `Callback section <callbacks.html>`_

You can define a custom callback function that will be called inside the agent.
This could be useful when you want to monitor training, for instance display live
learning curves in Tensorboard (or in Visdom) or save the best agent.
If your callback returns False, training is aborted early.

 Pong Environment


Training a RL agent on Atari games is straightforward thanks to ``make_atari_env`` helper function.
It will do `all the preprocessing <https://danieltakeshi.github.io/2016/11/25/frame-skipping-and-preprocessing-for-deep-q-networks-on-atari-2600-games/>`_
and multiprocessing for you.

   :target: https://colab.research.google.com/github/Stable-Baselines-Team/rl-colab-notebooks/blob/sb3/atari_games.ipynb
..

.. code-block:: python

  from stable_baselines3.common.env_util import make_atari_env
  from stable_baselines3.common.vec_env import VecFrameStack
  from stable_baselines3 import A2C

  # There already exists an environment generator
  # that will make and wrap atari environments correctly.

      action, _states = model.predict(obs)
      obs, rewards, dones, info = env.step(action)
      env.render()


PyBullet: Normalizing input features
------------------------------------

Normalizing input features may be essential to successful training of an RL agent
(by default, images are scaled but not other types of input),
for instance when training on `PyBullet <https://github.com/bulletphysics/bullet3/>`__ environments. For that, a wrapper exists and
will compute a running average and standard deviation of input features (it can do the same for rewards).


.. note::

	you need to install pybullet with ``pip install pybullet``

  env.training = False
  # reward normalization is not needed at test time
  env.norm_reward = False

  # Load the agent
  model = PPO.load(log_dir + "ppo_halfcheetah", env=env)


Hindsight Experience Replay (HER)
---------------------------------

For this example, we are using `Highway-Env <https://github.com/eleurent/highway-env>`_ by `@eleurent <https://github.com/eleurent>`_.


.. image:: ../_static/img/colab-badge.svg
   :target: https://colab.research.google.com/github/Stable-Baselines-Team/rl-colab-notebooks/blob/sb3/stable_baselines_her.ipynb


.. figure:: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eleurent/highway-env/gh-media/docs/media/parking-env.gif

   The highway-parking-v0 environment.

The parking env is a goal-conditioned continuous control task, in which the vehicle must park in a given space with the appropriate heading.

.. note::

  The hyperparameters in the following example were optimized for that environment.


.. code-block:: python

  import gym
  import highway_env
  import numpy as np

  from stable_baselines3 import HerReplayBuffer, SAC, DDPG, TD3
  from stable_baselines3.common.noise import NormalActionNoise

  env = gym.make("parking-v0")

  # Create 4 artificial transitions per real transition
  n_sampled_goal = 4

  # SAC hyperparams:
  model = SAC(
      "MultiInputPolicy",
      env,
      replay_buffer_class=HerReplayBuffer,
      replay_buffer_kwargs=dict(
        n_sampled_goal=n_sampled_goal,
        goal_selection_strategy="future",
        # IMPORTANT: because the env is not wrapped with a TimeLimit wrapper
        # we have to manually specify the max number of steps per episode
        max_episode_length=100,
        online_sampling=True,
      )
      verbose=1,
      buffer_size=int(1e6),
      learning_rate=1e-3,
      gamma=0.95,
      batch_size=256,
      policy_kwargs=dict(net_arch=[256, 256, 256]),
  )

  model.learn(int(2e5))
  model.save("her_sac_highway")

  # Load saved model
  # Because it needs access to `env.compute_reward()`
  # HER must be loaded with the env
  model = SAC.load("her_sac_highway", env=env)

  obs = env.reset()

  # Evaluate the agent
  episode_reward = 0
  for _ in range(100):
      action, _ = model.predict(obs, deterministic=True)
      obs, reward, done, info = env.step(action)
      env.render()
      episode_reward += reward
      if done or info.get("is_success", False):
          print("Reward:", episode_reward, "Success?", info.get("is_success", False))
          episode_reward = 0.0
          obs = env.reset()


Learning Rate Schedule
----------------------

All algorithms allow you to pass a learning rate schedule that takes as input the current progress remaining (from 1 to 0).
``PPO``'s ``clip_range``` parameter also accepts such schedule.

The `RL Zoo <https://github.com/DLR-RM/rl-baselines3-zoo>`_ already includes
linear and constant schedules.


.. code-block:: python

  from typing import Callable

  from stable_baselines3 import PPO


  def linear_schedule(initial_value: float) -> Callable[[float], float]:
      """
      Linear learning rate schedule.

      :param initial_value: Initial learning rate.
      :return: schedule that computes
        current learning rate depending on remaining progress
      """
      def func(progress_remaining: float) -> float:
          """
          Progress will decrease from 1 (beginning) to 0.

          :param progress_remaining:
          :return: current learning rate
          """
          return progress_remaining * initial_value

      return func

  # Initial learning rate of 0.001
  model = PPO("MlpPolicy", "CartPole-v1", learning_rate=linear_schedule(0.001), verbose=1)
  model.learn(total_timesteps=20000)
  # By default, `reset_num_timesteps` is True, in which case the learning rate schedule resets.
  # progress_remaining = 1.0 - (num_timesteps / total_timesteps)
  model.learn(total_timesteps=10000, reset_num_timesteps=True)


Advanced Saving and Loading
---------------------------------

In this example, we show how to use some advanced features of Stable-Baselines3 (SB3):
how to easily create a test environment to evaluate an agent periodically,
use a policy independently from a model (and how to save it, load it) and save/load a replay buffer.

By default, the replay buffer is not saved when calling ``model.save()``, in order to save space on the disk (a replay buffer can be up to several GB when using images).
However, SB3 provides a ``save_replay_buffer()`` and ``load_replay_buffer()`` method to save it separately.


Stable-Baselines3 automatic creation of an environment for evaluation.
For that, you only need to specify ``create_eval_env=True`` when passing the Gym ID of the environment while creating the agent.
Behind the scene, SB3 uses an :ref:`EvalCallback <callbacks>`.


.. note::

	For training model after loading it, we recommend loading the replay buffer to ensure stable learning (for off-policy algorithms).
	You also need to pass ``reset_num_timesteps=True`` to ``learn`` function which initializes the environment
	and agent for training if a new environment was created since saving the model.


.. image:: ../_static/img/colab-badge.svg
   :target: https://colab.research.google.com/github/Stable-Baselines-Team/rl-colab-notebooks/blob/sb3/advanced_saving_loading.ipynb


.. code-block:: python

  from stable_baselines3 import SAC
  from stable_baselines3.common.evaluation import evaluate_policy
  from stable_baselines3.sac.policies import MlpPolicy

  # Create the model, the training environment
  # and the test environment (for evaluation)
  model = SAC('MlpPolicy', 'Pendulum-v0', verbose=1,
              learning_rate=1e-3, create_eval_env=True)

  # Evaluate the model every 1000 steps on 5 test episodes
  # and save the evaluation to the "logs/" folder
  model.learn(6000, eval_freq=1000, n_eval_episodes=5, eval_log_path="./logs/")

  # save the model
  model.save("sac_pendulum")

  # the saved model does not contain the replay buffer
  loaded_model = SAC.load("sac_pendulum")
  print(f"The loaded_model has {loaded_model.replay_buffer.size()} transitions in its buffer")

  # now save the replay buffer too
  model.save_replay_buffer("sac_replay_buffer")

  # load it into the loaded_model
  loaded_model.load_replay_buffer("sac_replay_buffer")

  # now the loaded replay is not empty anymore
  print(f"The loaded_model has {loaded_model.replay_buffer.size()} transitions in its buffer")

  # Save the policy independently from the model
  # Note: if you don't save the complete model with `model.save()`
  # you cannot continue training afterward
  policy = model.policy
  policy.save("sac_policy_pendulum")

  # Retrieve the environment
  env = model.get_env()

  # Evaluate the policy
  mean_reward, std_reward = evaluate_policy(policy, env, n_eval_episodes=10, deterministic=True)

  print(f"mean_reward={mean_reward:.2f} +/- {std_reward}")

  # Load the policy independently from the model
  saved_policy = MlpPolicy.load("sac_policy_pendulum")

  # Evaluate the loaded policy
  mean_reward, std_reward = evaluate_policy(saved_policy, env, n_eval_episodes=10, deterministic=True)

  print(f"mean_reward={mean_reward:.2f} +/- {std_reward}")



Accessing and modifying model parameters
----------------------------------------

You can access model's parameters via ``load_parameters`` and ``get_parameters`` functions,
or via ``model.policy.state_dict()`` (and ``load_state_dict()``),
which use dictionaries that map variable names to PyTorch tensors.

These functions are useful when you need to e.g. evaluate large set of models with same network structure,
visualize different layers of the network or modify parameters manually.

Policies also offers a simple way to save/load weights as a NumPy vector, using ``parameters_to_vector()``
and ``load_from_vector()`` method.

Following example demonstrates reading parameters, modifying some of them and loading them to model
by implementing `evolution strategy (es) <http://blog.otoro.net/2017/10/29/visual-evolution-strategies/>`_
for solving the ``CartPole-v1`` environment. The initial guess for parameters is obtained by running
A2C policy gradient updates on the model.

SB3 and ProcgenEnv
------------------

Some environments like `Procgen <https://github.com/openai/procgen>`_ already produce a vectorized
environment (see discussion in `issue #314 <https://github.com/DLR-RM/stable-baselines3/issues/314>`_). In order to use it with SB3, you must wrap it in a ``VecMonitor`` wrapper which will also allow
to keep track of the agent progress.

.. code-block:: python

  from procgen import ProcgenEnv

  from stable_baselines3 import PPO
  from stable_baselines3.common.vec_env import VecExtractDictObs, VecMonitor

  # ProcgenEnv is already vectorized
  venv = ProcgenEnv(num_envs=2, env_name='starpilot')

  # To use only part of the observation:
  # venv = VecExtractDictObs(venv, "rgb")

  # Wrap with a VecMonitor to collect stats and avoid errors
  venv = VecMonitor(venv=venv)

  model = PPO("MultiInputPolicy", venv, verbose=1)
  model.learn(10000)


Record a Video
--------------

Record a mp4 video (here using a random agent).

.. note::

  It requires ``ffmpeg`` or ``avconv`` to be installed on the machine.

.. code-block:: python

  import gym
  from stable_baselines3.common.vec_env import VecVideoRecorder, DummyVecEnv

  env_id = 'CartPole-v1'
  video_folder = 'logs/videos/'
  video_length = 100

  env = DummyVecEnv([lambda: gym.make(env_id)])

  obs = env.reset()

  # Record the video starting at the first step
  env = VecVideoRecorder(env, video_folder,
                         record_video_trigger=lambda x: x == 0, video_length=video_length,
                         name_prefix="random-agent-{}".format(env_id))

  env.reset()
  for _ in range(video_length + 1):
    action = [env.action_space.sample()]
    obs, _, _, _ = env.step(action)
  # Save the video
  env.close()


Bonus: Make a GIF of a Trained Agent
------------------------------------

.. note::
  For Atari games, you need to use a screen recorder such as `Kazam <https://launchpad.net/kazam>`_.
  And then convert the video using `ffmpeg <https://superuser.com/questions/556029/how-do-i-convert-a-video-to-gif-using-ffmpeg-with-reasonable-quality>`_

.. code-block:: python

  import imageio
  import numpy as np

  from stable_baselines3 import A2C

  model = A2C("MlpPolicy", "LunarLander-v2").learn(100000)

  images = []
  obs = model.env.reset()
  img = model.env.render(mode='rgb_array')
  for i in range(350):
      images.append(img)
      action, _ = model.predict(obs)
      obs, _, _ ,_ = model.env.step(action)
      img = model.env.render(mode='rgb_array')

  imageio.mimsave('lander_a2c.gif', [np.array(img) for i, img in enumerate(images) if i%2 == 0], fps=29)
