Summary
Reinforcement learning is a field of machine learning in which an agent, which is the subject of learning, interacts with its environment and selects its actions, selects the best action from among the actions it can choose in an unknown environment or an environment with complex problems (environment (enviroment)). The method selects the optimal action while learning the optimal one based on the State and Reward. Typical methods for selecting them include Q learning, SARSA, DDPG, DQN, and PPO, etc. These methods are used to evaluate the value of the agent’s actions and measures, and provide algorithms for selecting the optimal action.
Reinforcement learning has been applied in various fields such as robot control, game play, natural language processing, and financial trading, and can realize advanced decisions that exceed human judgment. Here, we discuss reinforcement learning based on the Machine Learning Professional Series “Reinforcement Learning with Python“.
I will describe the reading notes in this article.
You can implement reinforcement learning! For engineers, this book provides detailed explanations from scratch with Python sample code. The book introduces the weaknesses of reinforcement learning that are bottlenecks in practical applications and how to overcome them, as well as the areas of application. Code also available!
