Is there some limitation with the dimensions of actions and observations?

[paapu88]

Dear Developers, I'm getting the following error when running the code below

pearl/neural_networks/common/value_networks.py", line 262, in get_q_values x = torch.cat([state_batch, action_batch], dim=-1) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ RuntimeError: Tensors must have same number of dimensions: got 4 and 2

Am I doing something stupid, or is there some limitation (for instance, so that dimension of the action and observation space must be the same?) Terveisin, Markus

I'm looking into this and will get back to you.

@paapu88 is your observation space an image or a video with your environment?

I think the error is because you are using a VanillaQValueNetwork which requires the state and the action to have the same dimension. For image inputs, you want to use the CNNQValueNetwork as the network type (we need to enable that for deep q learning).

We are going to implement a fix.
