## Network Structure

## Algorithm Description

### Training the network

In MMC, targets are calculated as a mixture between Double DQN targets and full Monte Carlo samples (total discounted returns).

The DDQN targets are calculated in the same manner as in the DDQN agent:

The Monte Carlo targets are calculated by summing up the discounted rewards across the entire episode:

A mixing ratio
is then used to get the final targets:

Finally, the online network is trained using the current states as inputs, and the calculated targets. Once in every few thousand steps, copy the weights from the online network to the target network.
