Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) combines deep learning with reinforcement learning to solve complex decision-making problems. Here’s a breakdown of key concepts and applications:
Core Concepts
- Q-Learning 🧠: A model-free algorithm that learns optimal actions through reward maximization.
- Policy Gradient 📈: Directly optimizes policies using gradient ascent, ideal for continuous action spaces.
- Actor-Critic Framework 🤖: Balances exploration and exploitation by splitting into actor (policy) and critic (value function).
- Multi-Agent Systems 🤝: Extends DRL to scenarios with multiple interacting agents, such as cooperative or competitive environments.
Applications
- Game Playing 🎮: Mastering games like Go, Chess, and Atari through DRL.
- Robotics 🤖: Training robots for navigation, manipulation, and control tasks.
- Autonomous Vehicles 🚗: Enhancing path planning and real-time decision-making.
- Resource Allocation 💡: Optimizing systems in cloud computing or energy management.
