Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Consider a multi-armed bandit scenario where each arm's rewards change after every pull. How would the agent need to adjust its strategy?

💡 Hint: Remember that environments can be dynamic and require frequent re-evaluation of strategies.

Challenge 2 Hard

Design an experiment to demonstrate the exploration-exploitation trade-off using a simple choice scenario. Describe what metrics you would collect.

💡 Hint: Think about how you would quantify both aspects of learning in your experiment.
