Algorithm.compute_actions(observations: numpy.array | jnp.ndarray | tf.Tensor | torch.Tensor | dict | tuple, state: List[numpy.array | jnp.ndarray | tf.Tensor | torch.Tensor | dict | tuple] | None = None, *, prev_action: numpy.array | jnp.ndarray | tf.Tensor | torch.Tensor | dict | tuple | None = None, prev_reward: numpy.array | jnp.ndarray | tf.Tensor | torch.Tensor | dict | tuple | None = None, info: dict | None = None, policy_id: str = 'default_policy', full_fetch: bool = False, explore: bool | None = None, timestep: int | None = None, episodes=None, unsquash_actions: bool | None = None, clip_actions: bool | None = None, **kwargs)[source]#

Computes an action for the specified policy on the local Worker.

Note that you can also access the policy object through self.get_policy(policy_id) and call compute_actions() on it directly.

Parameters:

  • observation – Observation from the environment.

  • state – RNN hidden state, if any. If state is not None, then all of compute_single_action(…) is returned (computed action, rnn state(s), logits dictionary). Otherwise compute_single_action(…)[0] is returned (computed action).

  • prev_action – Previous action value, if any.

  • prev_reward – Previous reward, if any.

  • info – Env info dict, if any.

  • policy_id – Policy to query (only applies to multi-agent).

  • full_fetch – Whether to return extra action fetch results. This is always set to True if RNN state is specified.

  • explore – Whether to pick an exploitation or exploration action (default: None -> use self.config.explore).

  • timestep – The current (sampling) time step.

  • episodes – This provides access to all of the internal episodes’ state, which may be useful for model-based or multi-agent algorithms.

  • unsquash_actions – Should actions be unsquashed according to the env’s/Policy’s action space? If None, use self.config.normalize_actions.

  • clip_actions – Should actions be clipped according to the env’s/Policy’s action space? If None, use self.config.clip_actions.

Keyword Arguments:

kwargs – forward compatibility placeholder

Returns:

The computed action if full_fetch=False, or a tuple consisting of the full output of policy.compute_actions_from_input_dict() if full_fetch=True or we have an RNN-based Policy.
