Why is my DQN (Deep Q Network) not learning? - python

I am training a DQN (Deep Q Network) on a CartPole problem from OpenAI's gym, but when I start the training, the total score from an episode decreases, instead of increasing. I don't know if it is helpful but I noticed that the AI prefers one action over the another and refuses to do anything else (unless it is forced by the epsilon greedy strategy), at least for some time. I tried my best, but I just can't figure out what is going on.
Here is my code:
import torch as t
import torch.nn as nn
import torch.nn.functional as f
import random as r
class QNet:
def predict(self, x: t.Tensor) -> t.Tensor:

self.capacity = capacity

if len(self.memories) > self.capacity:
self.memories.pop(0)
def get_batch(self, size: int):
if len(self.memories) < size:
raise Exception("There are not enough memories to make a batch.")
start_index = r.randint(0, len(self.memories) - size)
end_index = start_index + size
return self.memories[start_index:end_index]
class QLearning:
def __init__(self, net: QNet, target_net: QNet, optimizer, gamma: float):
self.net = net
self.target_net = target_net

self.gamma = gamma
def train(self, batch: [Memory]):
batched_pred = []
batched_opt_pred = []
for sample in batch:
pred = self.net.predict(sample.state)
opt_pred = pred.clone()
opt_pred[sample.action] = sample.reward
if sample.next_state is not None:
opt_pred[sample.action] += t.max(self.target_net.predict(sample.next_state)) * self.gamma

return self.l5(y)

for i in range(1000):
env.render()
action = 0
if r.random() > epsilon:
action = t.argmax(agent.predict(state)).item()
else:
action = env.action_space.sample()
epsilon -= epsilon_dec
next_state, reward, done, info = env.step(action)
next_state = t.tensor(next_state, dtype=t.float)
if done:

NameError: name 'self' is not defined when running code in Python 3.7 for Carla Vehicle Simulator

I've tried to run this code on Carla's command prompt window but it generates the error NameError: name self is not defined here:
self.model.compile(optimizer='adam', loss=self.conditional_loss,
metrics=[self.conditional_loss,
keras.metrics.sparse_categorical_accuracy],
run_eagerly=True)
But if i remove this then it would generate a warning saying that i should either run this in eagerly mode or graph mode with Keras's model.fit embedded into the code to continue to train the model. Any help would be fine, thanks!

Score being minimised by pytorch NN with the Cartpole problem

I am trying to solve the CartPole problem in openAI gym by training a simple 2 layer NN in pytorch. The method used is DQN yet results converge on a maximum score of around 8 or 9 and is not seen to improve over time or with training. Instead the score gets lower with training. How this might be improved/what is wrong in the code that is making it do this? Below is the code used:

Cartpole-v0 loss increasing using DQN

Hi I'm trying to train a DQN to solve gym's Cartpole problem.
For some reason the Loss looks like this (orange line). Can y'all take a look at my code and help with this? I've played around with the hyperparameters a decent bit so I don't think they're the issue here.

I basically followed the tutorial pytorch has, except using the state returned by the env rather than the pixels. I also changed the replay memory because I was having issues there. Other than that, I left everything else pretty much the same.
Edit:
I tried overfitting on a small batch and the Loss looks like this without updating the target net and this when updating it
Edit 2:
This is definitely an issue with the target net, I tried removing it and loss seemed to not increase exponentially
Your tau value is too small, small target network update cause DQN traning unstable. You can try to use 1000 (OpenAI Baseline's DQN example) or 10000 (Deepmind's Nature paper).
In Deepmind's 2015 Nature paper, it states that:
The second modification to online Q-learning aimed at further improving the stability of our method with neural networks is to use a separate network for generating the traget yj in the Q-learning update. More precisely, every C updates we clone the network Q to obtain a target network Q' and use Q' for generating the Q-learning targets yj for the following C updates to Q.
This modification makes the algorithm more stable compared to standard online Q-learning, where an update that increases Q(st,at) often also increases Q(st+1, a) for all a and hence also increases the target yj, possibly leading to oscillations or divergence of the policy. Generating the targets using the older set of parameters adds a delay between the time an update to Q is made and the time the update affects the targets yj, making divergence or oscillations much more unlikely.

My model training speed becomes slower over time. Every epoch take longer time to train.
Here is the full source code with my preprocess sentiment tree bank data (put glove.840B.300d.txt into data/glove).

Why does neural network learning slow down as the error gets lower?
The reasons for the slowdown are not fully understood, but we have some basic ideas.
For classifiers, most training examples start out as incorrectly classified. Over time, more of them become correctly classified. Early in learning, you might have a nearly 100% error rate, so every example in the minibatch contributes to learning. Late in learning, you might have nearly a 0% error rate, so almost none of the examples in the minibatch contribute to learning. This problem can be resolved to some extent by using hard example mining or importance sampling. Both of these are just techniques for training on more difficult examples more often.
There are other more complicated reasons. One of them is that the condition number of the Hessian tends to worsen a lot as learning progresses, so that the optimal step size becomes smaller and smaller.
