A(n) APPO model trained on the atari_bowling environment.
This model was trained using Sample-Factory 2.0: https://github.com/alex-petrenko/sample-factory. Documentation for how to use Sample-Factory can be found at https://www.samplefactory.dev/
Downloading the model
After installing Sample-Factory, download the model with:
python -m sample_factory.huggingface.load_from_hub -r MattStammers/APPO-atari_bowling
About the Model
This model as with all the others in the benchmarks was trained initially asynchronously un-seeded to 10 million steps for the purposes of setting a sample factory async baseline for this model on this environment but only 3/57 made it.
The aim is to reach state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance on each atari environment. I will flag the models with SOTA when they reach at or near these levels.
The hyperparameters used in the model are the ones I have pushed to my fork of sample-factory: https://github.com/MattStammers/sample-factory. Given that https://huggingface.co/edbeeching has kindly shared his. I saved time and energy by using many of his tuned hyperparameters to maximise performance. However, he used 2 billion training steps. I have started as explained above at 10 million then moved to 100m to see how performance goes:

Using the model
To run the model after download, use the enjoy script corresponding to this environment:
python -m sf_examples.atari.enjoy_atari --algo=APPO --env=atari_bowling --train_dir=./train_dir --experiment=APPO-atari_bowling
You can also upload models to the Hugging Face Hub using the same script with the --push_to_hub flag.
See https://www.samplefactory.dev/10-huggingface/huggingface/ for more details
Training with this model
To continue training with this model, use the train script corresponding to this environment:
python -m sf_examples.atari.train_atari --algo=APPO --env=atari_bowling --train_dir=./train_dir --experiment=APPO-atari_bowling --restart_behavior=resume --train_for_env_steps=10000000000
Note, you may have to adjust --train_for_env_steps to a suitably high number as the experiment will resume at the number of steps it concluded at.
