Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

@brain/rl

@brain/rl is a Reinforcement Learning library that implements several common RL algorithms, all with web demos. In particular, the library currently includes:

NOTE: A typescript fork of the reinforce.js library from https://github.com/karpathy/reinforcejs. An effort to keep the library current and usable in the modern world. Thank you Andrej karpathy (original author) for your fine work.

Examples

NOTE: Below is outdated.

  • Dynamic Programming methods
  • (Tabular) Temporal Difference Learning (SARSA/Q-Learning)
  • Deep Q-Learning for Q-Learning with function approximation with Neural Networks
  • Stochastic/Deterministic Policy Gradients and Actor Critic architectures for dealing with continuous action spaces. (very alpha, likely buggy or at the very least finicky and inconsistent)

See the main webpage for many more details, documentation and demos.

Code Sketch

The library exports two global variables: R, and RL. The former contains various kinds of utilities for building expression graphs (e.g. LSTMs) and performing automatic backpropagation, and is a fork of my other project recurrentjs. The RL object contains the current implementations:

  • RL.DPAgent for finite state/action spaces with environment dynamics
  • RL.TDAgent for finite state/action spaces
  • RL.DQNAgent for continuous state features but discrete actions

A typical usage might look something like:

// create an environment object
var env = {};
env.getNumStates = function() { return 8; }
env.getMaxNumActions = function() { return 4; }

// create the DQN agent
var spec = { alpha: 0.01 } // see full options on DQN page
agent = new RL.DQNAgent(env, spec); 

setInterval(function(){ // start the learning loop
  var action = agent.act(s); // s is an array of length 8
  //... execute action in environment and get the reward
  agent.learn(reward); // the agent improves its Q,policy,model, etc. reward is a float
}, 0);

The full documentation and demos are on the main webpage.
