Do the actorNet and criticNet share the parameter if the layers have the same name?

Hi.

I'm following the rlDDPGAgent example, and I want to make sure one thing as in the title.

At the Create DDPG Agent Using Initialization Options example, there are plots of actorNet and criticNet.

My question is, the layers that have the same name share their parameters?

Or the actorNet and criticNet have their own ones?

No, each network has its own parameters. Shared layers are not supported out of the box, you would have to implement custom training loop.
