Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

An RL agent is required to learn a new game with very sparse rewards. Explain how it could tackle sample inefficiency in this scenario.

💡 Hint: Think about how other strategies in gaming could allow for quicker adaptation to rewards.

Challenge 2 Hard

Develop a brief plan for implementing a reinforcement learning algorithm that mitigates sample inefficiency in a real-world application like warehouse management.

💡 Hint: Consider everyday processes in a warehouse and outline how you could improve the efficiency of learning through trials.
