Deep Reinforcement Learning Methods - Week 10

Deep Reinforcement Learning Methods - Week 10

Shangtong Zhang, 20 August 2017

This week I mainly worked on the issue of sharing layers between two networks. We finally figured out that Alias layer is the only possible solution, because the memory should be contiguous – shared_ptr cann't do that. However the implementation of Alias layer is not easy. I managed to eliminate the strange void* and make the include clause elegant by rearranging all the visitors. However I sill got stuck with a stange bad memory access error. I spent two days with no progress. So I decided to come back to the implementation of A3C, without shared layers.
