# WAVE 26 P2.3: Ensemble Q-Network Implementation Report
|
||||
|
||||
**Date**: 2025-11-27
|
||||
**Task**: Add ensemble of Q-networks for better uncertainty estimation
|
||||
**Status**: ✅ COMPLETE
|
||||
|
||||
## Summary
|
||||
|
||||
Successfully implemented `EnsembleQNetwork` to provide better uncertainty estimation through multiple independent Q-networks. The ensemble maintains multiple Q-networks with identical architectures but different random initializations to capture model uncertainty (epistemic uncertainty).
|
||||
|
||||
## Files Created
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. `/home/jgrusewski/Work/foxhunt/ml/src/dqn/ensemble_network.rs`
|
||||
|
||||
**Purpose**: Ensemble Q-Network implementation with TDD tests
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Components**:
|
||||
|
||||
#### `EnsembleConfig` Struct
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
pub struct EnsembleConfig {
|
||||
pub base_config: QNetworkConfig,
|
||||
pub num_networks: usize,
|
||||
pub use_different_seeds: bool,
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### `EnsembleQNetwork` Struct
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
pub struct EnsembleQNetwork {
|
||||
networks: Vec<QNetwork>,
|
||||
num_networks: usize,
|
||||
device: Device,
|
||||
config: EnsembleConfig,
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Core Methods Implemented**:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **`new(config, num_networks, device)`**
|
||||
- Creates ensemble with N independent Q-networks
|
||||
- Each network has different random initialization for diversity
|
||||
- Validates num_networks > 0
|
||||
|
||||
2. **`forward(&self, state)`**
|
||||
- Forward pass through all networks
|
||||
- Returns `Vec<Vec<f32>>` (one Q-value vector per network)
|
||||
- Used for collecting ensemble predictions
|
||||
|
||||
3. **`forward_tensor(&self, state: &Tensor)`**
|
||||
- Tensor-based forward pass for batch processing
|
||||
- Returns `Vec<Tensor>` with shape `[batch_size, num_actions]` per network
|
||||
- Efficient batch processing
|
||||
|
||||
4. **`mean_q(&self, state)`**
|
||||
- Computes mean Q-values across ensemble
|
||||
- Returns averaged Q-values: `Σ Q_i / N`
|
||||
- Provides robust action selection
|
||||
|
||||
5. **`mean_q_tensor(&self, state: &Tensor)`**
|
||||
- Tensor-based mean Q-value computation
|
||||
- Uses `Tensor::stack()` and `mean(0)` for efficiency
|
||||
- Supports batch processing
|
||||
|
||||
6. **`std_q(&self, state)`**
|
||||
- Computes standard deviation of Q-values
|
||||
- Formula: `sqrt(E[(Q - E[Q])²])`
|
||||
- Measures ensemble disagreement (uncertainty)
|
||||
|
||||
7. **`std_q_tensor(&self, state: &Tensor)`**
|
||||
- Tensor-based standard deviation computation
|
||||
- Efficient batch variance calculation
|
||||
- Returns uncertainty estimates per action
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Integration with Existing Code
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Module Exports (`ml/src/dqn/mod.rs`)
|
||||
|
||||
Added module declaration:
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
// Wave 26 P2.3: Ensemble Q-network for uncertainty estimation
|
||||
pub mod ensemble_network;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Added public re-exports:
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
// Re-export ensemble network components (Wave 26 P2.3)
|
||||
pub use ensemble_network::{EnsembleConfig, EnsembleQNetwork};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Integration with `ensemble_uncertainty.rs`
|
||||
|
||||
The `EnsembleQNetwork` provides the Q-value tensors needed by `EnsembleUncertainty`:
|
||||
|
||||
**Before** (manual Q-value collection):
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
// User manually collects Q-values from multiple agents
|
||||
let q_values = vec![
|
||||
agent1.forward(state)?,
|
||||
agent2.forward(state)?,
|
||||
agent3.forward(state)?,
|
||||
];
|
||||
let metrics = uncertainty.compute_uncertainty(&q_values)?;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**After** (automatic with EnsembleQNetwork):
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
// Ensemble provides Q-values automatically
|
||||
let ensemble = EnsembleQNetwork::new(config, 5, Device::Cpu)?;
|
||||
let q_values = ensemble.forward_tensor(&state)?; // Vec<Tensor>
|
||||
let metrics = uncertainty.compute_uncertainty(&q_values)?;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Complete Usage Example
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
use ml::dqn::{EnsembleQNetwork, QNetworkConfig};
|
||||
use ml::dqn::ensemble_uncertainty::EnsembleUncertainty;
|
||||
use candle_core::{Device, Tensor};
|
||||
|
||||
// 1. Create ensemble Q-network
|
||||
let config = QNetworkConfig {
|
||||
state_dim: 64,
|
||||
num_actions: 3,
|
||||
hidden_dims: vec![128, 64],
|
||||
..Default::default()
|
||||
};
|
||||
let ensemble = EnsembleQNetwork::new(config, 5, Device::Cpu)?;
|
||||
|
||||
// 2. Create uncertainty quantification system
|
||||
let mut uncertainty = EnsembleUncertainty::new(Device::Cpu, 5)?;
|
||||
|
||||
// 3. Get Q-values from ensemble
|
||||
let state = vec![1.0; 64];
|
||||
let q_values_vec = ensemble.forward(&state)?;
|
||||
|
||||
// Convert to tensors for uncertainty analysis
|
||||
let q_tensors: Vec<Tensor> = q_values_vec.iter()
|
||||
.map(|q| Tensor::new(q.as_slice(), &Device::Cpu)
|
||||
.unwrap()
|
||||
.reshape(&[1, 3])
|
||||
.unwrap())
|
||||
.collect();
|
||||
|
||||
// 4. Compute uncertainty metrics
|
||||
let metrics = uncertainty.compute_uncertainty(&q_tensors)?;
|
||||
|
||||
println!("Q-variance: {:.4}", metrics.q_value_variance);
|
||||
println!("Disagreement: {:.2}%", metrics.action_disagreement * 100.0);
|
||||
println!("Entropy: {:.4} bits", metrics.action_entropy);
|
||||
|
||||
// 5. Use for exploration
|
||||
let exploration_bonus = metrics.exploration_bonus(0.4, 0.4, 0.2);
|
||||
println!("Exploration bonus: {:.4}", exploration_bonus);
|
||||
|
||||
// 6. Get robust action selection
|
||||
let mean_q = ensemble.mean_q(&state)?;
|
||||
let std_q = ensemble.std_q(&state)?;
|
||||
println!("Mean Q-values: {:?}", mean_q);
|
||||
println!("Std Q-values: {:?}", std_q);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Benefits
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. **Better Uncertainty Estimation**
|
||||
- Multiple networks capture model uncertainty
|
||||
- Standard deviation quantifies disagreement
|
||||
- Exploration bonuses guide learning
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. **Robust Predictions**
|
||||
- Mean Q-values reduce noise
|
||||
- Variance detection for high-uncertainty states
|
||||
- Confidence-based action selection
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. **Improved Exploration**
|
||||
- High uncertainty → explore
|
||||
- Low uncertainty → exploit
|
||||
- Adaptive exploration strategy
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. **API Flexibility**
|
||||
- Both vector and tensor APIs
|
||||
- Batch processing support
|
||||
- Easy integration with existing code
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Characteristics
|
||||
|
||||
### Memory
|
||||
- **Storage**: `O(N × M)` where N = num_networks, M = model size
|
||||
- **Typical**: 5 networks × ~50KB/network = ~250KB total
|
||||
|
||||
### Computation
|
||||
- **Forward pass**: `O(N × B × D)` where B = batch_size, D = model depth
|
||||
- **Mean/Std**: `O(N × A)` where A = num_actions
|
||||
- **Typical**: 5 networks × 32 batch × 3 actions = ~500 ops
|
||||
|
||||
### Scalability
|
||||
- **Recommended**: 3-10 networks for good uncertainty estimates
|
||||
- **Tested**: Up to 10 networks without issues
|
||||
- **GPU-ready**: All operations support CUDA acceleration
|
||||
|
||||
## Integration Points
|
||||
|
||||
### Works With
|
||||
- ✅ `ensemble_uncertainty.rs` - Provides Q-values for uncertainty analysis

||||
- ✅ `rainbow_agent.rs` - Compatible with Rainbow DQN features
|
||||
|
||||
### Future Extensions
