Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a type of machine learning where an agent learns to make decisions by performing actions in an environment to achieve a goal. It is a highly dynamic field with numerous applications in areas such as gaming, robotics, and autonomous vehicles.
Key Concepts
- Agent: The decision-making entity in the environment.
- Environment: The surroundings in which the agent operates.
- State: The current situation or condition of the environment.
- Action: The decision made by the agent.
- Reward: The feedback received by the agent for taking an action.
Types of Reinforcement Learning
- Tabular RL: The agent learns from a table of states and actions.
- Model-based RL: The agent builds a model of the environment and uses it to make decisions.
- Model-free RL: The agent learns directly from the environment without building a model.
Applications
- Robotics: Teaching robots to perform tasks such as walking, picking up objects, and navigating environments.
- Games: Developing AI agents that can play complex games like chess, Go, and poker.
- Autonomous Vehicles: Designing intelligent systems that can drive cars and navigate complex road networks.
- Finance: Building trading algorithms that can make profitable investment decisions.
