Lecture notes on reinforcement learning
Reinforcement learning is an appealing subject. Firstly, it is a very general concept: an agent interacts with an environment with the goal to maximize the rewards it receives from the environment. The environment is random and provides states and rewards to the agent, while the agent chooses actions according to a possibly random policy. The… Continue reading Lecture notes on reinforcement learning
