Welcome to the Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) tutorial! 🤖 This guide will walk you through the fundamentals of combining reinforcement learning with deep neural networks to solve complex decision-making problems.

What is Deep Reinforcement Learning?

DRL extends traditional reinforcement learning by using deep neural networks to approximate value functions or policies. This enables agents to learn from high-dimensional inputs like images or sensor data.

Key Components

  • Environment: The world where the agent interacts (e.g., game, robot simulation) 🌍
  • Agent: The learner that takes actions to maximize cumulative rewards 🤖
  • Reward Function: Defines the feedback signal for successful behavior 🎯
  • Neural Network: Models the policy or value function (e.g., Q-networks, actor-critic) 🧠
  • Training Process: Iterative learning via experience replay and policy updates 🔄

Applications

DRL is used in:

  • Game playing (e.g., AlphaGo, Dota 2 bots) 🎮
  • Robotics and autonomous systems 🤖
  • Financial trading strategies 💰
  • Autonomous vehicles 🚗

Example Code

import torch
# Sample DRL framework code snippet
class DRLAgent:
    def __init__(self):
        self.policy_net = torch.nn.Sequential(...)  # Replace with actual network
