"""Example of handling variable length and/or parametric action spaces. This is a toy example of the action-embedding based approach for handling large discrete action spaces (potentially infinite in size), similar to this: https://neuro.cs.ut.ee/the-use-of-embeddings-in-openai-five/ This currently works with RLlib's policy gradient style algorithms (e.g., PG, PPO, IMPALA, A2C) and also DQN. Note that since the model outputs now include "-inf" tf.float32.min values, not all algorithm options are supported at the moment. For example, algorithms might crash if they don't properly ignore the -inf action scores. Working configurations are given below.
