Decision Transformer

Overview

The Decision Transformer model was proposed in Decision Transformer: Reinforcement Learning via Sequence Modeling
by Lili Chen, Kevin Lu, Aravind Rajeswaran, Kimin Lee, Aditya Grover, Michael Laskin, Pieter Abbeel, Aravind Srinivas, Igor Mordatch.

The abstract from the paper is the following:

We introduce a framework that abstracts Reinforcement Learning (RL) as a sequence modeling problem. This allows us to draw upon the simplicity and scalability of the Transformer architecture, and associated advances in language modeling such as GPT-x and BERT. In particular, we present Decision Transformer, an architecture that casts the problem of RL as conditional sequence modeling. Unlike prior approaches to RL that fit value functions or compute policy gradients, Decision Transformer simply outputs the optimal actions by leveraging a causally masked Transformer. By conditioning an autoregressive model on the desired return (reward), past states, and actions, our Decision Transformer model can generate future actions that achieve the desired return. Despite its simplicity, Decision Transformer matches or exceeds the performance of state-of-the-art model-free offline RL baselines on Atari, OpenAI Gym, and Key-to-Door tasks.

Tips:

This version of the model is for tasks where the state is a vector, image-based states will come soon.

This model was contributed by edbeeching. The original code can be found here.

  • reorder_and_upcast_attn (bool, optional, defaults to False) — Whether to scale keys (K) prior to computing attention (dot-product) and upcast attention dot-product/softmax to float() when training with mixed precision.

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a DecisionTransformerModel. It is used to instantiate a Decision Transformer model according to the specified arguments, defining the model architecture. Instantiating a configuration with the defaults will yield a similar configuration to that of the standard DecisionTransformer architecture. Many of the config options are used to instatiate the GPT2 model that is used as part of the architecture.

Configuration objects inherit from PretrainedConfig and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the documentation from PretrainedConfig for more information.

Example:

>>> from transformers import DecisionTransformerModel, DecisionTransformerConfig

>>> # Initializing a DecisionTransformer configuration
>>> configuration = DecisionTransformerConfig()

>>> # Initializing a model from the configuration
>>> model = DecisionTransformerConfig(configuration)

>>> # Accessing the model configuration
>>> configuration = model.config

Parameters

  • config (~DecisionTransformerConfig) — Model configuration class with all the parameters of the model. Initializing with a config file does not load the weights associated with the model, only the configuration. Check out the from_pretrained() method to load the model weights.

The Decision Transformer Model This model is a PyTorch torch.nn.Module sub-class. Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage and behavior.

The model builds upon the GPT2 architecture to perform autoregressive prediction of actions in an offline RL setting. Refer to the paper for more details: https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.01345

Parameters

  • states (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, episode_length, state_dim)) — The states for each step in the trajectory
  • actions (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, episode_length, act_dim)) — The actions taken by the “expert” policy for the current state, these are masked for auto regressive prediction

  • attention_mask (torch.LongTensor of shape (batch_size, episode_length)) — Masking, used to mask the actions when performing autoregressive prediction

Returns

transformers.models.decision_transformer.modeling_decision_transformer.DecisionTransformerOutput or tuple(torch.FloatTensor)

A transformers.models.decision_transformer.modeling_decision_transformer.DecisionTransformerOutput or a tuple of torch.FloatTensor (if return_dict=False is passed or when config.return_dict=False) comprising various elements depending on the configuration (DecisionTransformerConfig) and inputs.

  • last_hidden_state (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)) — Sequence of hidden-states at the output of the last layer of the model.

  • state_preds (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, state_dim)) — Environment state predictions

  • action_preds (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, action_dim)) — Model action predictions

  • return_preds (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, 1)) — Predicted returns for each state

  • hidden_states (tuple(torch.FloatTensor), optional, returned when output_hidden_states=True is passed or when config.output_hidden_states=True) — Tuple of torch.FloatTensor (one for the output of the embeddings + one for the output of each layer) of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size).

    Hidden-states of the model at the output of each layer plus the initial embedding outputs.

  • attentions (tuple(torch.FloatTensor), optional, returned when output_attentions=True is passed or when config.output_attentions=True) — Tuple of torch.FloatTensor (one for each layer) of shape (batch_size, num_heads, sequence_length, sequence_length).

The DecisionTransformerModel forward method, overrides the __call__ special method.

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the Module instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the pre and post processing steps while the latter silently ignores them.
