Sure, you can modify the substrate during training. The changes won't be there at test time when you use the 'scenario' though.
If all you want to do is change the substrate during training then it should be fine. You can change anything you like in the substrate config between episodes, this includes the map.
Thank you for the response @jzleibo. I'd like to know if there's an example in the repository's documentation on how to carry out this procedure. Is there already something implemented where the agent sees different maps during training?
Somewhere in your experiment you'll be calling the 'build' function in one of these files: https://github.com/google-deepmind/meltingpot/blob/main/meltingpot/configs/substrates/commons_harvest__open.py (that's the one for commons_harvest__open). Most likely you'll be calling it on every episode.
You can take the dict d returned from that function and override d['simulation']['map'] with your map.
Hello, I'm working with Melting Pot, specifically with the
commons_harvest
scenario. I'd like to know if there's a way to modify the scenario during the training stage? I mean, is there a way for the agent to see a different map than the initial one in each training episode?
