This tutorial will guide you through the basics of Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL), covering the fundamental concepts, algorithms, and applications. DRL is a rapidly evolving field with numerous real-world applications.
Basic Concepts
- Reinforcement Learning (RL): A type of machine learning where an agent learns to make decisions by performing actions in an environment to achieve a goal.
- Deep Learning (DL): A subset of machine learning where artificial neural networks, algorithms inspired by the human brain, learn from large amounts of data.
Algorithms
- Q-Learning: An algorithm that learns to map states to actions by estimating the expected future rewards.
- Policy Gradient Methods: Algorithms that directly learn the policy (probability distribution over actions) that maximizes the expected reward.
Applications
- Robotics: Controlling robots to perform tasks such as manipulation and navigation.
- Games: Playing games like chess, Go, and poker.
- Autonomous Vehicles: Developing self-driving cars and drones.
