<p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">distributions</span></code> package contains parameterizable probability distributions
and sampling functions. This allows the construction of stochastic computation
graphs and stochastic gradient estimators for optimization. This package
generally follows the design of the <a class="reference external" href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1711.10604">TensorFlow Distributions</a> package.</p>
<p>It is not possible to directly backpropagate through random samples. However,
there are two main methods for creating surrogate functions that can be
backpropagated through. These are the score function estimator/likelihood ratio
estimator/REINFORCE and the pathwise derivative estimator. REINFORCE is commonly
seen as the basis for policy gradient methods in reinforcement learning, and the
pathwise derivative estimator is commonly seen in the reparameterization trick
in variational autoencoders. Whilst the score function only requires the value
of samples <span class="math"><span class="katex"><span class="katex-mathml"><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><mi>f</mi><mo stretchy="false">(</mo><mi>x</mi><mo stretchy="false">)</mo></mrow><annotation encoding="application/x-tex">f(x)</annotation></semantics></math></span><span class="katex-html" aria-hidden="true"><span class="base"><span class="strut" style="height:1em;vertical-align:-0.25em;"></span><span class="mord mathnormal" style="margin-right:0.10764em;">f</span><span class="mopen">(</span><span class="mord mathnormal">x</span><span class="mclose">)</span></span></span></span></span>, the pathwise derivative requires the derivative

<p>In practice we would sample an action from the output of a network, apply this
action in an environment, and then use <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">log_prob</span></code> to construct an equivalent
loss function. Note that we use a negative because optimizers use gradient
descent, whilst the rule above assumes gradient ascent. With a categorical
policy, the code for implementing REINFORCE would be as follows:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">probs</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">policy_network</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">state</span><span class="p">)</span>

<p>The other way to implement these stochastic/policy gradients would be to use the
reparameterization trick from the
<code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">rsample()</span></code> method, where the
parameterized random variable can be constructed via a parameterized
deterministic function of a parameter-free random variable. The reparameterized
sample therefore becomes differentiable. The code for implementing the pathwise
derivative would be as follows:</p>
