Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What do policy-based methods directly optimize?

  • Value functions
  • Policy functions
  • Action mappings

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember what a policy determines.

Question 2

Are value-based methods efficient in computational resource usage?

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how they utilize value without optimizing actions directly.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Create a reinforcement learning model using both policy-based and value-based methods. Outline the advantages and challenges you might encounter.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how each method contributes to the overall strategy.

Question 2

Analyze a failed RL project where reliance on only one method (either policy or value-based) led to poor performance. Suggest improvements.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Identify why a single method might limit learning.
