i mostly wanted to ask if you could look at this - https://piazza.com/class/j0zg8g4ww9s63f
Alex Kolchinski
Apr 21, 12:39 PM
i've been sick all week so wondering if i could use a third late day on hw1
Alex Kolchinski

still working on #5

Can you specify the piazza post number?

Saied Mehdian
Apr 21, 12:53 PM
The instructor, Professor Brunskill has decided the solutions for homework1 to be released very soon.
Alex Kolchinski
Apr 21, 12:54 PM
how soon? i only need a few more hours to finish #5
Saied Mehdian
Apr 21, 12:55 PM
Decision about extending needs to be done by the Instructor, Prof. Brunskill. I sent her a message but I have not heard back.
Alex Kolchinski
Apr 21, 12:56 PM
thanks
Saied Mehdian
Apr 21, 12:56 PM
As of now, I am not sure if we are going to have an extra extension.
Alex Kolchinski
Apr 21, 12:57 PM
i guess i'll submit what i have by 1:30 and then keep working on it
Saied Mehdian
Apr 21, 12:58 PM
I recommend to contact the instructor directly. Maybe you should send her an email.
Saied Mehdian
Apr 21, 1:00 PM
She is having an office hour today 3-4

can we use chat for your question
Saied Mehdian
Apr 21, 1:55 PM
?
Alex Kolchinski
Apr 21, 1:59 PM
sure
Alex Kolchinski
Apr 21, 1:59 PM
1 is - is the .78 score goal for q5 discounted by gamma^t?
Alex Kolchinski
Apr 21, 1:59 PM
or just .78 of the time the agent reaches the goal
Alex Kolchinski
Apr 21, 2:00 PM
also, my q learning converges when i initialize it with 1s but not with 0s - is that expected?
Saied Mehdian
Apr 21, 2:02 PM
it is .78 of the times, the agent reaches the goal
Saied Mehdian
Apr 21, 2:02 PM
piazza post 188 should be helpful to clarify that.
Saied Mehdian
Apr 21, 2:04 PM
Your algorithm performance can depend on the initializatoin
Alex Kolchinski
Apr 21, 2:04 PM
gotcha, i don't see that in 188 but isn't the score for a mdp usually discounted by gamma and time?
Saied Mehdian
Apr 21, 2:04 PM
*initializatin
Saied Mehdian
Apr 21, 2:05 PM
*initialization
Alex Kolchinski
Apr 21, 2:05 PM
it's just that it gets stuck at all 0s when i initialize it that way
Alex Kolchinski
Apr 21, 2:05 PM
does that mean i have a bug? it works just fine when i initialize it to all 1s
Saied Mehdian
Apr 21, 2:05 PM
please refer to piazza post 142 for more details
Saied Mehdian
Apr 21, 2:06 PM
it does not necessarily imply you have a bug.
Alex Kolchinski
Apr 21, 2:06 PM
gotcha, thanks
Saied Mehdian
Apr 21, 2:06 PM
Your algorithm seems to have very good performance with all 1s
Saied Mehdian
Apr 21, 2:07 PM
Please keep in mind, the algorithm should not get stuck for a particular initial vector.
Saied Mehdian
Apr 21, 2:09 PM
One potential issue you might want to check is the terminal state. Make sure you update the count for the terminal state
Saied Mehdian
Apr 21, 2:16 PM
for an mdp, optimizingthe sum of discounted rewards is the objective. However, in hw1 q5, what really matters is whether you were able to reach the final cell

Alex Kolchinski
Apr 21, 2:20 PM
thanks Saied, what do you mean by updating the count for the terminal state?
Saied Mehdian
Apr 21, 2:22 PM
each time step, you will have (s,a,r,s')
Saied Mehdian
Apr 21, 2:23 PM
once your reach a termination state, you will also need to increment the count for it.
Saied Mehdian
Apr 21, 2:24 PM
If your are not handling this, then the problem parameters (including the reward) is not changing for termination states and this is a bug
Saied Mehdian
Apr 21, 2:33 PM
