🚂 Starter Kit - NeurIPS 2020 Flatland Challenge

This starter kit contains 2 example policies to get started with this challenge:

  • a simple single-agent DQN method
  • a more robust multi-agent DQN method that you can submit out of the box to the challenge 🚀

🔗 Train the single-agent DQN policy

🔗 Train the multi-agent DQN policy

🔗 Submit a trained policy

The single-agent example is meant as a minimal example of how to use DQN. The multi-agent is a better starting point to create your own solution.

You can fully train the multi-agent policy in Colab for free! Colab

Sample training usage

Train the multi-agent policy for 150 episodes:

python reinforcement_learning/multi_agent_training.py -n 150

The multi-agent policy training can be tuned using command-line arguments:
