# RL4J: Reinforcement Learning for Java
RL4J is a reinforcement learning framework integrated with deeplearning4j and released under an Apache 2.0 open-source license. By contributing code to this repository, you agree to make your contribution available under an Apache 2.0 license.
* DQN (Deep Q Learning with double DQN)
* Async RL (A3C, Async NStepQlearning)
Both for Low-Dimensional (array of info) and high-dimensional (pixels) input.

# Doom
Doom is not ready yet but you can make it work if you feel adventurous with some additional steps:
* You will need vizdoom, compile the native lib and move it into the root of your project in a folder
* export MAVEN_OPTS=-Djava.library.path=THEFOLDEROFTHELIB
* mvn compile exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="YOURMAINCLASS"
# Malmo (Minecraft)

* Download and unzip Malmo from [here](https://github.com/Microsoft/malmo/releases)
* export MALMO_HOME=YOURMALMO_FOLDER
* export MALMO_XSD_PATH=$MALMO_HOME/Schemas
* launch malmo per [instructions](https://github.com/Microsoft/malmo#launching-minecraft-with-our-mod)
* run with this [main](https://github.com/eclipse/deeplearning4j-examples/blob/master/rl4j-examples/src/main/java/org/deeplearning4j/examples/rl4j/MalmoPixels.java)

# WIP
* Documentation
* Serialization/Deserialization (load save)
* Compression of pixels in order to store 1M state in a reasonnable amount of memory
* Async learning: A3C and nstep learning (requires some missing features from dl4j (calc and apply gradients)).
# Author

# Proposed contribution area:
* Continuous control
* Policy Gradient
* Update rl4j-gym to make it compatible with pixels environments to play with Pong, Doom, etc ...
