"""Policy gradient loss with logits. Used for discrete actions.
`pg_loss = reduce( advantages * -log_prob( actions ) )`,
where `advantages` and `actions` do not back-propagate gradients.
All arguments except :attr:`logits` and :attr:`actions` are the same with
:func:`pg_loss_with_log_probs`.
Args:
actions: Tensor of shape
`[(batch_size,) max_time, d_3, ..., d_rank]` and of dtype
`int32` or `int64`.
The rank of the Tensor is specified with :attr:`rank`.
The batch dimension exists only if :attr:`batched` is `True`.
The batch and time dimensions
are exchanged, i.e., `[max_time, batch_size, ...]` if
:attr:`time_major` is `True`.
logits: Unscaled log probabilities of shape
`[(batch_size,) max_time, d_3, ..., d_{rank+1}]`
and dtype `float32` or `float64`.
The batch and time dimensions are exchanged if `time_major`
is `True`.
advantages: Tensor of shape
`[(batch_size,) max_time, d_3, ..., d_rank]` and
dtype `float32` or `float64`.
The batch and time dimensions are exchanged if `time_major`
is `True`.
rank (int, optional): The rank of :attr:`actions`.
If `None` (default), rank is automatically inferred from
`actions` or `advantages`. If the inference fails,
`rank` is set to 1 if :attr:`batched` is `False`,
and set to 2 if :attr:`batched` is `True`.
batched (bool): `True` if the inputs are batched.
sequence_length (optional): A Tensor of shape `[batch_size]`.
Time steps beyond the respective sequence lengths will have zero
losses. Used if :attr:`batched` is `True`.
average_across_timesteps (bool): If set, average the loss across
the time dimension. Must not set `average_across_timesteps`
and `sum_over_timesteps` at the same time.
average_across_batch (bool): If set, average the loss across the
batch dimension. Must not set `average_across_batch`'
and `sum_over_batch` at the same time.
Ignored if `batched` is `False`.
average_across_remaining (bool): If set, average the sequence across the
remaining dimensions. Must not set `average_across_remaining`'
and `sum_over_remaining` at the same time. Ignored if
no more dimensions other than the batch and time dimensions.
sum_over_timesteps (bool): If set, sum the loss across the
time dimension. Must not set `average_across_timesteps`
and `sum_over_timesteps` at the same time.
sum_over_batch (bool): If set, sum the loss across the
batch dimension. Must not set `average_across_batch`
and `sum_over_batch` at the same time.
Ignored if `batched` is `False`.
sum_over_remaining (bool): If set, sum the loss across the
remaining dimension. Must not set `average_across_remaining`
and `sum_over_remaining` at the same time. Ignored if
no more dimensions other than the batch and time dimensions.
time_major (bool): The shape format of the inputs. If `True`,
:attr:`logits`, :attr:`actions` and :attr:`advantages` must
have shape `[max_time, batch_size, ...]`. If `False` (default),
they must have shape `[batch_size, max_time, ...]`.
Ignored if `batched` is `False`.
Returns:
A Tensor containing the loss to minimize, whose rank depends on the
reduce arguments. For example, the batch dimension is reduced if
either :attr:`average_across_batch` or :attr:`sum_over_batch` is
`True`, which decreases the rank of output tensor by 1.
