| Abstract | One of the most prominent methods for explaining the behavior of Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) agents is the generation of saliency maps that show how much each pixel attributed to the agents' decision. However, there is no work that computationally evaluates and compares the fidelity of different perturbation-based saliency map approaches specifically for DRL agents. It is particularly challenging to computationally evaluate saliency maps for DRL agents since their decisions are part of an overarching policy, which includes long-term decision making. For instance, the output neurons of value-based DRL algorithms encode both the value of the current state as well as the expected future reward after doing each action in this state. This ambiguity should be considered when evaluating saliency maps for such agents. In this paper, we compare five popular perturbation-based approaches to create saliency maps for DRL agents trained on four different Atari 2600 games. The approaches are compared using two computational metrics: dependence on the learned parameters of the underlying deep Q-network of the agents (sanity checks) and fidelity to the agents' reasoning (input degradation). During the sanity checks, we found that a popular noise-based saliency map approach for DRL agents shows little dependence on the parameters of the output layer. We demonstrate that this can be fixed by tweaking the algorithm such that it focuses on specific actions instead of the general entropy within the output values. For fidelity, we identify two main factors that influence which saliency map approach should be chosen in which situation. Particular to value-based DRL agents, we show that analyzing the agents' choice of action requires different saliency map approaches than analyzing the agents' state value estimation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
