Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a specific reinforcement learning task with high-dimensional action spaces, describe how you would approach the problem using policy-based methods rather than value-based methods. Justify your choice.

💡 Hint: Consider the nature of the problem you’re addressing.

Challenge 2 Hard

Reflect on a real-world application where value-based methods might struggle. Propose a method to optimize performance in that scenario.

💡 Hint: Think of practical implications in robotics or gaming.
