Question 1

What are the two primary types of Monte Carlo methods in terms of visit strategy?

First-visit and Every-visit
Single visit and Multiple visit
Random visit and Structured visit

💡 Hint: Focus on how many times we consider each action.

Question 2

True or False: Every-visit Monte Carlo can potentially provide more accurate estimates than first-visit.

True
False

💡 Hint: Think about the relationship between data volume and accuracy.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a simulation of a simple board game where you can apply both first-visit and every-visit Monte Carlo methods to find the optimal strategy. Compare the results from each.

💡 Hint: Make sure to track the number of occurrences of state-action pairs.

Challenge 2 Hard

Explain how an exploration strategy could be implemented in a real-world application, such as self-driving cars, using Monte Carlo Control principles.

💡 Hint: Consider how the vehicle would gather data over time to improve performance.
