Acquisition of 3rd person viewpoint image about animalai-olympics HOT 4 CLOSED

For the record: The Unity environment code is not the same as the configurations. They could theoretically release the entire Unity code and still keep the configurations (the .yaml files) secret.

Hello,

I can confirm the environment and the configurations are two separate things. Just to make sure there is no further confusion, the example configurations provided are NOT the same as those in the hidden tests - even for categories 1-7. These are just suggestions that might be a good starting point if you want to train an agent. We will soon consolidate the information about this into a single place as it's a bit spread out at the moment.

Regarding releasing the Unity environment, we discussed this at length within the team and are considering our options. This requires some work and we have to weigh up the benefits. If we do decide to release we cannot offer any support for anyone wanting to extend or manipulate the environment in some way and, of course, everyone will still ultimately have to work with the constraints of the tests which use first person inputs.

You are free, of course, to try any method you think is interesting for the competition itself, we just do not have the resources to help with any issues arising from modifications to the environment.

We will let you know about this further by the end of next week.

Hello,

We have now released the source code for the environment here. You can build your own training environment from it and add observations (for example extra cameras) to your agent. It does take a bit of learning to do so, but you can find some great documentation on the ML Agents repo.

Please note that we do not support the environment repo at the moment.

Great! Thank you very much!
