/**
* Welcome to Unity Machine Learning Agents (ML-Agents).
*
* The ML-Agents toolkit contains four entities: Academy, Agent, Communicator and
* Python API. The academy and connected agents live within
* a learning environment (herein called Environment), while the communicator
* manages the communication between the learning environment and the Python
* API. For more information on each of these entities, in addition to how to
* set-up a learning environment and train the behavior of characters in a
* Unity scene, please browse our documentation pages on GitHub:
