Chapter 4. Dynamic Programming

本文深入探讨了动态规划在强化学习中的应用,包括策略评估、策略改进、策略迭代和值迭代等核心概念。介绍了如何利用价值函数组织策略搜索,以及DP算法通过Bellman方程转换为更新规则的实现方式。


本章所介绍的dynamic programming 指的是在给出一个可以把环境视为马尔科夫决策过程的完美的模型下,用以计算最优策略的一系列的算法。传统的DP算法对模型和计算代价要求较高。其它的解决强化学习的算法可以看成以较小的计算成本、无需完美模型的代价来试图实现DP算法相同的效果。

假设 环境是 a finite MDP。形象化描述是:
状态空间和动作空间都是有限的,即 S S S and A ( s ) A(s) A(s) for s ∈ S s\in S sS 是有限的。
环境的动态信息通过给出转移概率和期望瞬时奖励来确定,即 P s s ′ a = P r { s t + 1 = s ′ ∣ s t = s , a t = a } P_{ss'}^a=Pr\{s_{t+1}=s'| s_t=s, a_t=a\} Pssa=Pr{st+1=sst=s,at=a} R s s ′ a = E { r t + 1 ∣ a t = a , s t = s , s t + 1 = s ′ } R_{ss'}^a = E\{r_{t+1}|a_t=a, s_t=s, s_{t+1}=s'\} Rssa=E{rt+1at=a,st=s,st+1=s} for all s ∈ S s\in S sS, a ∈ A ( s ) a\in A(s) aA(s) and s ′ ∈ S + s'\in S^+ sS+($S^+ $: a terminal state) 已知。

DP 的核心观点是用价值函数来组织和结构化对于好的策略的搜索。(The key idea of DP, and of reinforcement learning generally, is the use of value functions to organize and structure the search for good policies.)

DP 算法是通过将Bellman equations转换成更新规则来实现的。


4.1 Policy Evaluation

问题描述
如何评价一个策略的好坏程度。(如何计算state-value function)

policy evaluation : how to compute the state-value function V π V^\pi Vπ. 我们把策略评估当做预测问题。

在Bellman equations for V π V^\pi Vπ中,只要 γ \gamma γ<1 或者最终的终止状态被保证,那么 V π V^\pi Vπ的存在性和唯一性就会得到保证。

each successive approximation is obtained by using the Bellman equation for V π V^\pi Vπ as an update rule:
V k + 1 ( s ) = E π { r t + 1 + γ V k ( s t + 1 ) ∣ s t = s } = ∑ a π ( s , a ) ∑ s ′ P s s ′ a [ r t + 1 + γ V k ( s ′ ) ] \begin{aligned} V_{k+1}(s) &= E_\pi\{r_{t+1} + \gamma V_k(s_{t+1})|s_t=s\}\\ &= \sum_a\pi(s,a)\sum_{s'}P_{ss'}^a[r_{t+1} + \gamma V_k(s\prime)] \end{aligned} Vk+1(s)=Eπ{rt+1+γVk(st+1)st=s}=aπ(s,a)sPssa[rt+1+γVk(s)]
Iterative Policy Evaluation.
the sequence { V k V_k Vk} can be shown in general to converage to V π V^\pi Vπ as k → ∞ k \rightarrow \infty k under the same conditions that guarantee the existence of V π V^\pi Vπ.

a full backup: a kind of operation-it replaces the old value of s s s with a new value obtained from the old values of the successor states of s s s, and the expected immediate rewards, along all the one-step transitions possible under the policy being evaluated.

它基于所有可能的后续状态,而不是对后续状态的抽样。
所有在DP 里面的 backup 都是 full backup 。

如何编程实现 policy evaluation。
方法一:用两个数组实现。
一个数组保存旧值, V k ( s ) V_k(s) Vk(s),一个数组保存新值, V k + 1 ( s ) V_{k+1}(s) Vk+1(s)。更新保存新值的数组时,用到的是旧值数组,旧值数组在此过程中是不会变化的。
方法二:用一个数组实现。
更新一个状态的预测值时,就地更新,直接在原地用新值代替旧值。
比较:两种方法最终都可以达到收敛。方法二的收敛更快。


sweep: the backups as being done in a sweep through the state space.

程序的终止条件设置:
①当最近更新的state-value值与之前的一个差距不大时;
②设置迭代次数限制。
代码如下所示:

4.2 Policy Improvement

问题描述
在已有策略的时候,如何找到更好的策略?

select a a a in s s s and follow the existing policy π \pi π,the value of this way of behaving is
Q π ( s , a ) = E π { r t + 1 + γ V π ( s t + 1 ) ∣ s t = s , a t = a } = ∑ s ′ P s s ′ a [ R s s ′ a + γ V π ( s ′ ) ] \begin{aligned} Q^\pi(s,a) &= E_\pi\{ r_{t+1} + \gamma V^\pi(s_{t+1}) | s_t=s, a_t=a\} \\ &= \sum_{s'}P_{ss'}^a[R_{ss'}^a + \gamma V^\pi(s')] \end{aligned} Qπ(s,a)=Eπ{rt+1+γVπ(st+1)st=s,at=a}=sPssa[Rssa+γVπ(s)]

这个方法的关键是此值与 V π ( s ) V^\pi(s) Vπ(s)值的大小比较。如果大于 V π ( s ) V^\pi(s) Vπ(s),那么这个新策略可能会好于旧策略。

policy improvement theorem
π \pi π π ′ \pi' π是任意的两个策略,如果 π ′ \pi' π 要好于 π \pi π,那么有:for all states
Q π ( s , π ′ ( s ) ) ≥ V π ( s ) Q^\pi(s,\pi'(s)) \ge V^\pi(s) Qπ(s,π(s))Vπ(s)
也就是
V π ′ ( s ) ≥ V π ( s ) V^{\pi'}(s) \ge V^\pi(s) Vπ(s)Vπ(s) .

如果在上式中的严格不等,那么在下式中至少存在一个状态使式子严格不等。

如何由上式推导出下式,证明过程如下:

V π ( s ) ≤ Q π ( s , π ′ ( s ) ) = E π ′ { r t + 1 + γ V π ( s t + 1 ) ∣ s t = s } ≤ E π ′ { r t + 1 + γ Q π ( s t + 1 , π ′ ( s t + 1 ) ) ∣ s t = s } = E π ′ { r t + 1 + γ r t + 2 + γ 2 V π ( s t + 2 ) ∣ s t = s } ≤ E π ′ { r t + 1 + γ r t + 2 + γ 3 r t + 3 + γ 3 V π ( s t + 3 ) ∣ s t = s } . . . ≤ E π ′ { r t + 1 + γ r t + 2 + γ 2 r t + 3 + . . . ∣ s t = s } = V π ′ ( s ) \begin{aligned} V^\pi(s) &\le Q^\pi(s,\pi'(s))\\ &= E_{\pi'}\{ r_{t+1} + \gamma V^\pi(s_{t+1}) |s_t=s \}\\ &\le E_{\pi'}\{ r_{t+1} + \gamma Q^\pi(s_{t+1}, \pi'(s_{t+1})) | s_t=s\}\\ &= E_{\pi'}\{ r_{t+1} + \gamma r_{t+2} + \gamma^2 V^\pi(s_{t+2}) | s_t=s\}\\ &\le E_{\pi'}\{ r_{t+1} + \gamma r_{t+2} + \gamma ^3 r_{t+3} + \gamma^3V^\pi(s_{t+3}) | s_t=s\}\\ & .\\ & .\\ & .\\ &\le E_{\pi'}\{r_{t+1} + \gamma r_{t+2} + \gamma^2 r_{t+3} + ... | s_t=s\}\\ &= V^{\pi'}(s) \end{aligned} Vπ(s)Qπ(s,π(s))=Eπ{rt+1+γVπ(st+1)st=s}Eπ{rt+1+γQπ(st+1,π(st+1))st=s}=Eπ{rt+1+γrt+2+γ2Vπ(st+2)st=s}Eπ{rt+1+γrt+2+γ3rt+3+γ3Vπ(st+3)st=s}...Eπ{rt+1+γrt+2+γ2rt+3+...st=s}=Vπ(s)

给出一个策略和此策略的 value function,我们可以很容易的在此策略下评价某个状态下一个动作的改变情况。也可以推广到任意状态下的任意动作。

policy improvement: The process of making a new policy that improves on an original policy, by making it greedy or nearly greedy with respect to the value function of the original policy.

notes: 如果在一个状态有多个动作都有相同的值得时候,我们不是选一个,而是在新的策略下给他们一个概率分布。
each maximizing action can be given a portion of the probability of being selected in the new greedy policy.


4.3 Policy Iteration

问题描述
策略迭代是策略评价和策略提升的整合。如何实现策略迭代。


policy iteration
图中E表示a policy evaluation, I 表示 a policy improvement。
因为一个有限的马尔科夫决策过程只有有限的策略,所以上述图中展示的过程最终会在有限的迭代中收敛到最优策略。

4.4 Value Iteration

问题描述
策略迭代的优化。简化了策略评价。

策略迭代的缺点:
每一个迭代过程中都包含策略评价。

value iteration的特点:
combine the policy improvment and truncated policy evaluation.
V k + 1 ( s ) = m a x a E { r t + 1 + γ V k ( s t + 1 ) ∣ s t = s , a t = a } = m a x a ∑ s ′ P s s ′ a [ R s s ′ a + γ V k ( s ′ ) ] \begin{aligned} V_{k+1}(s) &= max_a E\{ r_{t+1} + \gamma V_k(s_{t+1}) |s_t=s,a_t=a\}\\ &= max_a \sum_{s'} P_{ss'}^a [R_{ss'}^a + \gamma V_k(s')] \end{aligned} Vk+1(s)=maxaE{rt+1+γVk(st+1)st=s,at=a}=maxasPssa[Rssa+γVk(s)]
更新赋值时取最大值(从所有可能的动作中取最大值),而不是根据所有可能出现的后续状态取平均值。

程序的终止条件设置:
①当在一次sweep中, V ( s ) V(s) V(s)的改变均小于 自 己 设 定 的 θ 自己设定的\theta θ时,可认为近似最优策略。
②设置迭代次数。

4.5 Asynchronous Dynamics Programming

问题描述
异步动态规划。

同步动态规划的思想是:一次性更新所有状态的value。缺点是对所有的状态都要遍历,当状态空间巨大时,无法以现有计算速度快速实现。
异步动态规划的思想是:避免长的而且又是无作用的sweep,跳过一些与最优行为无关的的状态。


4.6 Generalized Policy Iteration

问题描述
如何对策略评价过程和策略提升过程的交互过程概括化?


在policy iteration, value iteration 和 asynchronous DP 中,策略评价和策略提升都存在,但是具体的交互操作不一样。

generalized policy iteration(GPI): the general idea of interacting policy evaluation and policy improvment process, independent of the granularity and other details of the two process.

4.7
GPI:值函数和策略函数一直交互直到它们达到最优,之后它们就是一致的。
value and policy functions interact until they are optimal and thus consistent with other.


4.7 Efficiency of Dynamic Programming

问题描述
动态规划的效率分析。

DP不太适合解决状态空间巨大的问题,但是相比于解决MDP的方法,DP 方法是十分有效的。DP 方法找到最优策略的最坏时间复杂度是关于状态和动作数目的多项式级别。DP 会遇到维度灾难问题。但是这是此类问题本质上的困难,而不是DP方法的。

Chapter 4: Processor Architecture. This chapter covers basic combinational and sequential logic elements, and then shows how these elements can be combined in a datapath that executes a simplified subset of the x86-64 instruction set called “Y86-64.” We begin with the design of a single-cycle datapath. This design is conceptually very simple, but it would not be very fast. We then introduce pipelining, where the different steps required to process an instruction are implemented as separate stages. At any given time, each stage can work on a different instruction. Our five-stage processor pipeline is much more realistic. The control logic for the processor designs is described using a simple hardware description language called HCL. Hardware designs written in HCL can be compiled and linked into simulators provided with the textbook, and they can be used to generate Verilog descriptions suitable for synthesis into working hardware. Chapter 5: Optimizing Program Performance. This chapter introduces a number of techniques for improving code performance, with the idea being that programmers learn to write their C code in such a way that a compiler can then generate efficient machine code. We start with transformations that reduce the work to be done by a program and hence should be standard practice when writing any program for any machine. We then progress to transformations that enhance the degree of instruction-level parallelism in the generated machine code, thereby improving their performance on modern “superscalar” processors. To motivate these transformations, we introduce a simple operational model of how modern out-of-order processors work, and show how to measure the potential performance of a program in terms of the critical paths through a graphical representation of a program. You will be surprised how much you can speed up a program by simple transformations of the C code. Bryant & O’Hallaron fourth pages 2015/1/28 12:22 p. xxiii (front) Windfall Software, PCA ZzTEX 16.2 xxiv Preface Chapter 6: The Memory Hierarchy. The memory system is one of the most visible parts of a computer system to application programmers. To this point, you have relied on a conceptual model of the memory system as a linear array with uniform access times. In practice, a memory system is a hierarchy of storage devices with different capacities, costs, and access times. We cover the different types of RAM and ROM memories and the geometry and organization of magnetic-disk and solid state drives. We describe how these storage devices are arranged in a hierarchy. We show how this hierarchy is made possible by locality of reference. We make these ideas concrete by introducing a unique view of a memory system as a “memory mountain” with ridges of temporal locality and slopes of spatial locality. Finally, we show you how to improve the performance of application programs by improving their temporal and spatial locality. Chapter 7: Linking. This chapter covers both static and dynamic linking, including the ideas of relocatable and executable object files, symbol resolution, relocation, static libraries, shared object libraries, position-independent code, and library interpositioning. Linking is not covered in most systems texts, but we cover it for two reasons. First, some of the most confusing errors that programmers can encounter are related to glitches during linking, especially for large software packages. Second, the object files produced by linkers are tied to concepts such as loading, virtual memory, and memory mapping. Chapter 8: Exceptional Control Flow. In this part of the presentation, we step beyond the single-program model by introducing the general concept of exceptional control flow (i.e., changes in control flow that are outside the normal branches and procedure calls). We cover examples of exceptional control flow that exist at all levels of the system, from low-level hardware exceptions and interrupts, to context switches between concurrent processes, to abrupt changes in control flow caused by the receipt of Linux signals, to the nonlocal jumps in C that break the stack discipline. This is the part of the book where we introduce the fundamental idea of a process, an abstraction of an executing program. You will learn how processes work and how they can be created and manipulated from application programs. We show how application programmers can make use of multiple processes via Linux system calls. When you finish this chapter, you will be able to write a simple Linux shell with job control. It is also your first introduction to the nondeterministic behavior that arises with concurrent program execution. Chapter 9: Virtual Memory. Our presentation of the virtual memory system seeks to give some understanding of how it works and its characteristics. We want you to know how it is that the different simultaneous processes can each use an identical range of addresses, sharing some pages but having individual copies of others. We also cover issues involved in managing and manipulating virtual memory. In particular, we cover the operation of storage allocators such as the standard-library malloc and free operations. CovBryant & O’Hallaron fourth pages 2015/1/28 12:22 p. xxiv (front) Windfall Software, PCA ZzTEX 16.2 Preface xxv ering this material serves several purposes. It reinforces the concept that the virtual memory space is just an array of bytes that the program can subdivide into different storage units. It helps you understand the effects of programs containing memory referencing errors such as storage leaks and invalid pointer references. Finally, many application programmers write their own storage allocators optimized toward the needs and characteristics of the application. This chapter, more than any other, demonstrates the benefit of covering both the hardware and the software aspects of computer systems in a unified way. Traditional computer architecture and operating systems texts present only part of the virtual memory story. Chapter 10: System-Level I/O. We cover the basic concepts of Unix I/O such as files and descriptors. We describe how files are shared, how I/O redirection works, and how to access file metadata. We also develop a robust buffered I/O package that deals correctly with a curious behavior known as short counts, where the library function reads only part of the input data. We cover the C standard I/O library and its relationship to Linux I/O, focusing on limitations of standard I/O that make it unsuitable for network programming. In general, the topics covered in this chapter are building blocks for the next two chapters on network and concurrent programming. Chapter 11: Network Programming. Networks are interesting I/O devices to program, tying together many of the ideas that we study earlier in the text, such as processes, signals, byte ordering, memory mapping, and dynamic storage allocation. Network programs also provide a compelling context for concurrency, which is the topic of the next chapter. This chapter is a thin slice through network programming that gets you to the point where you can write a simple Web server. We cover the client-server model that underlies all network applications. We present a programmer’s view of the Internet and show how to write Internet clients and servers using the sockets interface. Finally, we introduce HTTP and develop a simple iterative Web server. Chapter 12: Concurrent Programming. This chapter introduces concurrent programming using Internet server design as the running motivational example. We compare and contrast the three basic mechanisms for writing concurrent programs—processes, I/O multiplexing, and threads—and show how to use them to build concurrent Internet servers. We cover basic principles of synchronization using P and V semaphore operations, thread safety and reentrancy, race conditions, and deadlocks. Writing concurrent code is essential for most server applications. We also describe the use of thread-level programming to express parallelism in an application program, enabling faster execution on multi-core processors. Getting all of the cores working on a single computational problem requires a careful coordination of the concurrent threads, both for correctness and to achieve high performance翻译以上英文为中文
