A set of written notes summarizing John Schulman's 'Nuts and Bolts of Deep RL Research' lecture from the 2017 Deep RL Bootcamp at UC Berkeley. It collects practical hacks for debugging and framing reinforcement learning algorithms and tasks.

Use cases

• debugging a new reinforcement learning algorithm
• learning how to simplify RL tasks to see signs of life
• framing a new problem as an RL problem
• finding benchmarks for RL training progress
• studying practical deep RL research tips

When to choose

• you are starting deep RL research and want practical debugging advice
• you want a quick summary of John Schulman's Deep RL Bootcamp lecture

When to avoid

• you need maintained code or a runnable library
• you want up-to-date RL techniques beyond 2017
