Description
I have added a new agent -- PPO + LSTM, together with the new EpisodicRolloutBuffer, which is similar to VanillaRolloutBuffer but samples entire trajectories instead of random transitions in order to train the LSTM appropriately.
I have also added an example notebook to train it on Atari - Space Invaders, which achieves the following results:
In this case, it performs very similarly to vanilla PPO:
Motivation and Context
PPO LSTM can achieve better performance than PPO in partially observed environments.
