Yaplandrlm

Yaplandrlm is a fictional open-source software framework created to illustrate concepts in reinforcement learning (RL) and planning-based methods. Intended for education and experimentation, the project describes a modular platform that supports environment interaction, agent development, planning components, and reproducible evaluation of RL experiments.

Design and components: The framework emphasizes modularity, with distinct interfaces for environments, neural models, planners, and training loops. Core modules include environment adapters (Gym-like), a neural network backend, planners implementing lookahead and tree-search strategies, a training manager, and an experiment ledger for recording configurations and results.

Algorithms and capabilities: Yaplandrlm is described as supporting both model-free and model-based approaches, including Dyna-style planning, Monte Carlo Tree Search, and value-iteration-inspired planners. It includes tools for offline evaluation, ablation studies, and benchmark integration to compare methods under controlled conditions.

Implementation and ecosystem: In its fictional narrative, the project is written in Python with bindings to PyTorch, offers Gym-compatible interfaces, and uses YAML or JSON for experiment configuration. It provides documentation, tutorials, and example experiments to illustrate principled evaluation and reproducibility.

Status and reception: Within the hypothetical context, yaplandrlm serves as a teaching and research demonstration rather than a widely deployed software package. It is frequently cited in discussions about reproducibility and modular RL research workflows.
