SPIRAL in TensorFlow (in progress)

TensorFlow implementation of Synthesizing Programs for Images using Reinforced Adversarial Learning (SPIRAL).

SPIRAL is an adversarially trained agent that generates a program which is executed by a graphics engine to interpret and sample images. This agent is trained to fool a discriminator with a distributed reinforcement learning without any supervision.

In short, Distributed RL + GAN + Program synthesis.

Prerequisites

• Python 2.7
• MyPaint 1.2.x
• TensorFlow 1.6.0

Usage

Install prerequisites with:

./install.sh
pip install -r requirements.txt

To debug a SPIARL model:

python run.py --num_workers 8 --env simple --episode_length=1 \
              --location_size=8 --conditional=True \
              --loss=l2 --policy_batch_size=1

To train a SPIARL model:

python run.py --num_workers 16 --env simple_mnist --episode_length=3 \
              --color_channel=1 --location_size=32 --loss=gan --num_gpu=1 \
              --disc_dim=8 --conditional=False \
              --mnist_nums=1,7 --jump=False --curve=False

python run.py --num_workers 24 --env simple_mnist --episode_length=6 \
              --color_channel=1 --location_size=32 --loss=gan --num_gpu=2 \
              --disc_dim=64 --conditional=False \
              --mnist_nums=0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 --jump=True

python run.py --num_workers 12 --env simple_mnist --episode_length=2 \
              --color_channel=1 --location_size=32 --conditional=True \
              --mnist_nums=1 --loss=gan

python run.py --num_workers 24 --env simple_mnist --episode_length=3 \
              --color_channel=1 --location_size=32 --conditional=True \
              --mnist_nums=1,2,7 --loss=l2

python run.py --num_workers 24 --env simple_mnist --episode_length=3 \
              --color_channel=1 --location_size=32 --conditional=True \
              --mnist_nums=1,2,7 --loss=gan --num_gpu=2

python run.py --num_workers 24 --env simple_mnist --episode_length=5 \
              --color_channel=1 --location_size=32 --conditional=True \
              --mnist_nums=0,1,2,7 --loss=gan --num_gpu=2

To-do

• IMPALA A2C
• IMPALA V-trace
• Simple environment (debugging)
• Find a correct libmypaint setting
• MNIST environment
• ReplayThread (--loss=gan)
• --num_gpu=2 test
• --conditional=True (need more details)
• Replay memory needs more detailed information
• Population Based Training (to be honest, I don't have any plan for this)

References

This code is heavily based on openai/universe-starter-agent.
