# Imitation Learning Baseline Implementations
This project aims to provide clean implementations of imitation and reward learning algorithms.
Currently, we have implementations of the algorithms below. 'Discrete' and 'Continous' stands for whether the algorithm supports discrete or continuous action/state spaces respectively.

## Installation
### Prerequisites
- Python 3.8+
- (Optional) OpenGL (to render Gymnasium environments)
- (Optional) FFmpeg (to encode videos of renders)
> Note: `imitation` is only compatible with newer [gymnasium](https://gymnasium.farama.org/) environment API and does not support the older `gym` API.
### Installing PyPI release
Installing the PyPI release is the standard way to use `imitation`, and the recommended way for most users.
```
pip install imitation
```
### Install from source
If you like, you can install `imitation` from source to [contribute to the project][contributing] or access the very last features before a stable release. You can do this by cloning the GitHub repository and running the installer directly. First run:
`git clone http://github.com/HumanCompatibleAI/imitation && cd imitation`.
For development mode, then run:
```
pip install -e ".[dev]"
```
This will run `setup.py` in development mode, and install the additional dependencies required for development. For regular use, run instead
```
pip install .
```
Additional extras are available depending on your needs. Namely, `tests` for running the test suite, `docs` for building the documentation, `parallel` for parallelizing the training, and `atari` for including atari environments. The `dev` extra already installs the `tests`, `docs`, and `atari` dependencies automatically, and `tests` installs the `atari` dependencies.
For macOS users, some packages are required to run experiments (see `./experiments/README.md` for details). First, install Homebrew if not available (see [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/)). Then, run:
```
brew install coreutils gnu-getopt parallel
```
## CLI Quickstart
We provide several CLI scripts as a front-end to the algorithms implemented in `imitation`. These use [Sacred](https://github.com/idsia/sacred) for configuration and replicability.
From [examples/quickstart.sh:](examples/quickstart.sh)
```bash
# Train PPO agent on pendulum and collect expert demonstrations. Tensorboard logs saved in quickstart/rl/
python -m imitation.scripts.train_rl with pendulum environment.fast policy_evaluation.fast rl.fast fast logging.log_dir=quickstart/rl/
# Train GAIL from demonstrations. Tensorboard logs saved in output/ (default log directory).
python -m imitation.scripts.train_adversarial gail with pendulum environment.fast demonstrations.fast policy_evaluation.fast rl.fast fast demonstrations.path=quickstart/rl/rollouts/final.npz demonstrations.source=local
# Train AIRL from demonstrations. Tensorboard logs saved in output/ (default log directory).
python -m imitation.scripts.train_adversarial airl with pendulum environment.fast demonstrations.fast policy_evaluation.fast rl.fast fast demonstrations.path=quickstart/rl/rollouts/final.npz demonstrations.source=local
```
Tips:
- Remove the "fast" options from the commands above to allow training run to completion.
- `python -m imitation.scripts.train_rl print_config` will list Sacred script options. These configuration options are documented in each script's docstrings.
For more information on how to configure Sacred CLI options, see the [Sacred docs](https://sacred.readthedocs.io/en/stable/).
## Python Interface Quickstart
See [examples/quickstart.py](examples/quickstart.py) for an example script that loads CartPole-v1 demonstrations and trains BC, GAIL, and AIRL models on that data.
### Density reward baseline
We also implement a density-based reward baseline. You can find an [example notebook here](docs/tutorials/7_train_density.ipynb).
