NetHack Learning Environment
The NetHack Learning Environment (NLE) is a Reinforcement Learning environment based on NetHack 3.6.6. It is designed to provide a standard reinforcement learning interface to the game, and comes with tasks that function as a first step to evaluate agents on this new environment. NetHack is one of the oldest and arguably most impactful videogames in history, as well as being one of the hardest roguelikes currently being played by humans. It is procedurally generated, rich in entities and dynamics, and overall an extremely challenging environment for current state-of-the-art RL agents, while being much cheaper to run compared to other challenging testbeds. Through NLE, the authors wish to establish NetHack as one of the next challenges for research in decision making and machine learning.

Papers archive 2025-07-28
1 shown of 1 paper with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 23. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
