Hi I'm trying to train a DQN to solve gym's Cartpole problem. For some reason the Loss looks like this (orange line). Can y'all take a look at my code and help with this? I've played around with the hyperparameters a decent bit so I don't think they're the issue here.
class DQN(nn.Module):
def __init__(self, input_dim, output_dim):
super(DQN, self).__init__()
self.linear1 = nn.Linear(input_dim, 16)
self.linear2 = nn.Linear(16, 32)
self.linear3 = nn.Linear(32, 32)
self.linear4 = nn.Linear(32, output_dim)
def forward(self, x):
x = F.relu(self.linear1(x))
x = F.relu(self.linear2(x))
x = F.relu(self.linear3(x))
return self.linear4(x)
final_epsilon = 0.05
initial_epsilon = 1
epsilon_decay = 5000
global steps_done
steps_done = 0
def select_action(state):
global steps_done
sample = random.random()
eps_threshold = final_epsilon + (initial_epsilon - final_epsilon) * \
math.exp(-1. * steps_done / epsilon_decay)
if sample > eps_threshold:
with torch.no_grad():
state = torch.Tensor(state)
steps_done += 1
q_calc = model(state)
node_activated = int(torch.argmax(q_calc))
return node_activated
else:
node_activated = random.randint(0,1)
steps_done += 1
return node_activated
class ReplayMemory(object): # Stores [state, reward, action, next_state, done]

def push(self, data):

for idx, point in enumerate(data):
#print("Col {} appended {}".format(idx, point))
self.memory[idx].append(point)

else:
# .max in pytorch returns (values, idx), we only want vals
next_state_q_vals[idx] = (target_net(next_state_batch[idx]).max(0)[0]).detach()
better_pred = (reward_batch + next_state_q_vals).unsqueeze(1)
loss = F.smooth_l1_loss(pred_q, better_pred)

math.exp(-1. * steps_done / epsilon_decay)
print(eps)

env.close()
x = [coord[0] * 100 for coord in points]
y = [coord[1] for coord in points]
x2 = [coord[0] * 100 for coord in losspoints]
y2 = [coord[1] for coord in losspoints]
plt.plot(x, y)
plt.plot(x2, y2)
plt.show()
I basically followed the tutorial pytorch has, except using the state returned by the env rather than the pixels. I also changed the replay memory because I was having issues there. Other than that, I left everything else pretty much the same.
Edit:
I tried overfitting on a small batch and the Loss looks like this without updating the target net and this when updating it
Edit 2:
This is definitely an issue with the target net, I tried removing it and loss seemed to not increase exponentially

Your tau value is too small, small target network update cause DQN traning unstable. You can try to use 1000 (OpenAI Baseline's DQN example) or 10000 (Deepmind's Nature paper).
In Deepmind's 2015 Nature paper, it states that:
The second modification to online Q-learning aimed at further improving the stability of our method with neural networks is to use a separate network for generating the traget yj in the Q-learning update. More precisely, every C updates we clone the network Q to obtain a target network Q' and use Q' for generating the Q-learning targets yj for the following C updates to Q. This modification makes the algorithm more stable compared to standard online Q-learning, where an update that increases Q(st,at) often also increases Q(st+1, a) for all a and hence also increases the target yj, possibly leading to oscillations or divergence of the policy. Generating the targets using the older set of parameters adds a delay between the time an update to Q is made and the time the update affects the targets yj, making divergence or oscillations much more unlikely.
Human-level control through deep reinforcement learning, Mnih et al., 2015
I've run your code with settings of tau=2, tau=10, tau=100, tau=1000 and tau=10000. The update frequency of tau=100 solves the problem (reach maximum steps of 200).
tau=2
tau=10
tau=100
tau=1000
tau=10000
Below is the modified version of your code.
