The Winning Solution for the Learning To Run Challenge 2017 by NNAISENSE

This repository contains the code used to train the winning controller for the Learning to Run Challenge 2017 along with the resulting models.

Note, however, that reproducing the results using this code is hard due to several reasons. First, the learning process (mostly in Stage I: Global Policy Optimization) was manually supported -- multiple runs were executed and visually inspected to select the most promising one for the subsequent stages. Second, the original random seeds were lost. Third, the whole learning process required significant computational resources (at least a couple of weeks of a 128-CPUs machine). You have been warned.

The upper section shows the statistics for all episodes, including those where the runner fell down. The middle section measures performance based only on those episodes which completed the entire run (i.e. without falling down). The 'best of 5 runs of 10 random episodes' and 95% confidence intervals were obtained with bootstrapping; all averages were computed over 4000 episodes.

Learning

The parameters used in the following commands are exemplary. The commands do not guarantee to obtain our models (or good models at all).
