source class Actor(observation_space: spaces.Space, action_space: spaces.Box, net_arch: list[int], features_extractor: nn.Module, features_dim: int, activation_fn: type[nn.Module] = nn.ReLU, use_sde: bool = False, log_std_init: float = -3, full_std: bool = True, use_expln: bool = False, clip_mean: float = 2.0, normalize_images: bool = True)

Bases : BasePolicy

Actor network (policy) for TQC.

Parameters

  • observation_space : spaces.Space — Obervation space

  • action_space : spaces.Box — Action space

  • net_arch : list[int] — Network architecture

  • features_dim : int — Number of features

  • activation_fn : type[nn.Module] — Activation function

  • use_sde : bool — Whether to use State Dependent Exploration or not

  • log_std_init : float — Initial value for the log standard deviation
