Memory Gym: Partially Observable Challenges to
Memory-Based Agents in Endless Episodes

Memory Gym features the environments Mortar Mayhem, Mystery Path, and Searing Spotlights that are inspired by some mini games of Pummel Party. These environments shall benchmark an agent's memory to

memorize events across long sequences,
generalize,
and be robust to noise.

Especially, these environments feature endless task variants. As the agent's policy improves, the task goes on. The traveling game "I packed my bag ..." inspired this dynamic concept, which allows for examining levels of effectiveness instead of just sample efficiency.
