Reinforcement Learning

Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a machine learning paradigm where agents learn to make decisions through interaction with environments, receiving rewards or penalties. Key concepts include rewards, policies, and value functions essential for guiding the agent's behavior. Q-learning and deep Q-networks represent significant advancements in RL, enabling effective learning in complex tasks like robotics and gaming. Mastery of RL principles facilitates the development of autonomous systems that improve decision-making through experience.

    Rewards, Policies, And Value Functions

    This section discusses the fundamental concepts of rewards, policies, and value functions in reinforcement learning, which guide an agent's learning process.

  • 10.2.1

    Rewards

    Rewards are scalar signals that guide an agent's decision-making in reinforcement learning by encouraging desirable behaviors.

  • 10.2.2

    Policies

    Policies dictate an agent's actions in reinforcement learning by mapping states to actions.

  • 10.2.3

    Value Functions
