Online RL: Value-Based Methods for Visual Control (Atari)

Objective

Design and implement a value-based RL algorithm for visual/Atari environments using CNN feature extraction. Your code goes in custom_value_atari.py. Three reference implementations (DQN, DoubleDQN, C51) are provided as read-only.

Background

Atari games require learning from raw pixel observations (84x84 grayscale, 4 stacked frames). Value-based methods must learn effective visual representations alongside Q-value estimation. Key challenges include high-dimensional observations, sparse rewards, and memory-efficient experience replay. Different approaches address these through distributional value functions, frame stacking, or architecture innovations.

Constraints

  • Network architecture dimensions are FIXED and cannot be modified
  • Total parameter count is enforced at runtime
  • Focus on algorithmic innovation: new loss functions, update rules, exploration strategies, etc.
  • Do NOT simply copy a reference implementation with minor changes

Evaluation

Trained and evaluated on Breakout, Pong, BeamRider. Additional held-out environments (not shown during intermediate testing) are used to assess generalization. Metric: mean episodic return over 10 evaluation episodes (higher is better).
