.. _custom_policy:

Custom Policy Network
=====================

Stable Baselines3 provides policy networks for images (CnnPolicies)
and other type of input features (MlpPolicies).


.. warning::
  For A2C and PPO, continuous actions are clipped during training and testing
  (to avoid out of bound error). SAC, DDPG and TD3 squash the action, using a ``tanh()`` transformation,
  which handles bounds more correctly.



Custom Policy Architecture
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

One way of customising the policy network architecture is to pass arguments when creating the model,
using ``policy_kwargs`` parameter:

.. code-block:: python

  import gym
  import torch as th

  from stable_baselines3 import PPO

  # Custom MLP policy of two layers of size 32 each with Relu activation function
  policy_kwargs = dict(activation_fn=th.nn.ReLU, net_arch=[32, 32])
  # Create the agent
  model = PPO("MlpPolicy", "CartPole-v1", policy_kwargs=policy_kwargs, verbose=1)
  # Retrieve the environment
  env = model.get_env()
  # Train the agent
  model.learn(total_timesteps=100000)
  # Save the agent
  model.save("ppo-cartpole")

  del model
  # the policy_kwargs are automatically loaded
  model = PPO.load("ppo-cartpole")


You can also easily define a custom architecture for the policy (or value) network:

.. note::

    Defining a custom policy class is equivalent to passing ``policy_kwargs``.
    However, it lets you name the policy and so usually makes the code clearer.
    ``policy_kwargs`` is particularly useful when doing hyperparameter search.


Custom Feature Extractor
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If you want to have a custom feature extractor (e.g. custom CNN when using images), you can define class
that derives from ``BaseFeaturesExtractor`` and then pass it to the model when training.

.. code-block:: python

  import gym
  import torch as th
  import torch.nn as nn

  from stable_baselines3 import PPO
  from stable_baselines3.common.torch_layers import BaseFeaturesExtractor


  class CustomCNN(BaseFeaturesExtractor):
      """
      :param observation_space: (gym.Space)
      :param features_dim: (int) Number of features extracted.
          This corresponds to the number of unit for the last layer.
      """

      def __init__(self, observation_space: gym.spaces.Box, features_dim: int = 256):
          super(CustomCNN, self).__init__(observation_space, features_dim)
          # We assume CxHxW images (channels first)
          # Re-ordering will be done by pre-preprocessing or wrapper
          n_input_channels = observation_space.shape[0]
          self.cnn = nn.Sequential(
              nn.Conv2d(n_input_channels, 32, kernel_size=8, stride=4, padding=0),
              nn.ReLU(),
              nn.Conv2d(32, 64, kernel_size=4, stride=2, padding=0),
              nn.ReLU(),
              nn.Flatten(),
          )

          # Compute shape by doing one forward pass
          with th.no_grad():
              n_flatten = self.cnn(
                  th.as_tensor(observation_space.sample()[None]).float()
              ).shape[1]

          self.linear = nn.Sequential(nn.Linear(n_flatten, features_dim), nn.ReLU())

      def forward(self, observations: th.Tensor) -> th.Tensor:
          return self.linear(self.cnn(observations))

  policy_kwargs = dict(
      features_extractor_class=CustomCNN,
      features_extractor_kwargs=dict(features_dim=128),
  )
  model = PPO("CnnPolicy", "BreakoutNoFrameskip-v4", policy_kwargs=policy_kwargs, verbose=1)
  model.learn(1000)




On-Policy Algorithms
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Shared Networks
---------------

The ``net_arch`` parameter of ``A2C`` and ``PPO`` policies allows to specify the amount and size of the hidden layers and how many
of them are shared between the policy network and the value network. It is assumed to be a list with the following
structure:

1. An arbitrary length (zero allowed) number of integers each specifying the number of units in a shared layer.
   If the number of ints is zero, there will be no shared layers.
2. An optional dict, to specify the following non-shared layers for the value network and the policy network.
   It is formatted like ``dict(vf=[<value layer sizes>], pi=[<policy layer sizes>])``.
   If it is missing any of the keys (pi or vf), no non-shared layers (empty list) is assumed.

In short: ``[<shared layers>, dict(vf=[<non-shared value network layers>], pi=[<non-shared policy network layers>])]``.

Examples
~~~~~~~~

Two shared layers of size 128: ``net_arch=[128, 128]``


.. code-block:: none

                  obs
                   |
                 <128>
                   |
                 <128>
           /               \
        action            value


Value network deeper than policy network, first layer shared: ``net_arch=[128, dict(vf=[256, 256])]``

.. code-block:: none

                  obs
                   |
                 <128>
           /               \
        action             <256>
                             |
                           <256>
                             |
                           value


Initially shared then diverging: ``[128, dict(vf=[256], pi=[16])]``

.. code-block:: none

                  obs
                   |
                 <128>
           /               \
         <16>             <256>
           |                |
        action            value


Advanced Example
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If your task requires even more granular control over the policy/value architecture, you can redefine the policy directly:


.. code-block:: python

  from typing import Callable, Dict, List, Optional, Tuple, Type, Union

  import gym
  import torch as th
  from torch import nn

  from stable_baselines3 import PPO
  from stable_baselines3.common.policies import ActorCriticPolicy


  class CustomNetwork(nn.Module):
      """
      Custom network for policy and value function.
      It receives as input the features extracted by the feature extractor.

      :param feature_dim: dimension of the features extracted with the features_extractor (e.g. features from a CNN)
      :param last_layer_dim_pi: (int) number of units for the last layer of the policy network
      :param last_layer_dim_vf: (int) number of units for the last layer of the value network

          feature_dim: int,
          last_layer_dim_pi: int = 64,
          last_layer_dim_vf: int = 64,
      ):
          super(CustomNetwork, self).__init__()

          # IMPORTANT:
          # Save output dimensions, used to create the distributions
          self.latent_dim_pi = last_layer_dim_pi
          self.latent_dim_vf = last_layer_dim_vf

          # Policy network
          self.policy_net = nn.Sequential(
              nn.Linear(feature_dim, last_layer_dim_pi), nn.ReLU()

              nn.Linear(feature_dim, last_layer_dim_vf), nn.ReLU()
          )

      def forward(self, features: th.Tensor) -> Tuple[th.Tensor, th.Tensor]:
          """
          :return: (th.Tensor, th.Tensor) latent_policy, latent_value of the specified network.
              If all layers are shared, then ``latent_policy == latent_value``
          """
          return self.policy_net(features), self.value_net(features)


  class CustomActorCriticPolicy(ActorCriticPolicy):
      def __init__(
          self,
          observation_space: gym.spaces.Space,
          action_space: gym.spaces.Space,
          lr_schedule: Callable[[float], float],
          net_arch: Optional[List[Union[int, Dict[str, List[int]]]]] = None,
          activation_fn: Type[nn.Module] = nn.Tanh,

      def _build_mlp_extractor(self) -> None:
          self.mlp_extractor = CustomNetwork(self.features_dim)


  model = PPO(CustomActorCriticPolicy, "CartPole-v1", verbose=1)
  model.learn(5000)




Off-Policy Algorithms
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If you need a network architecture that is different for the actor and the critic when using ``SAC``, ``DDPG`` or ``TD3``,
you can pass a dictionary of the following structure: ``dict(qf=[<critic network architecture>], pi=[<actor network architecture>])``.

For example, if you want a different architecture for the actor (aka ``pi``) and the critic (Q-function aka ``qf``) networks,
then you can specify ``net_arch=dict(qf=[400, 300], pi=[64, 64])``.

Otherwise, to have actor and critic that share the same network architecture,
you only need to specify ``net_arch=[256, 256]`` (here, two hidden layers of 256 units each).


.. note::
    Compared to their on-policy counterparts, no shared layers (other than the feature extractor)
    between the actor and the critic are allowed (to prevent issues with target networks).


.. code-block:: python

  from stable_baselines3 import SAC

  # Custom actor architecture with two layers of 64 units each
  # Custom critic architecture with two layers of 400 and 300 units
  policy_kwargs = dict(net_arch=dict(pi=[64, 64], qf=[400, 300]))
  # Create the agent
  model = SAC("MlpPolicy", "Pendulum-v0", policy_kwargs=policy_kwargs, verbose=1)
  model.learn(5000)
