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. This guide provides an overview of some common reinforcement learning algorithms.

Common RL Algorithms

Here are some of the most widely used RL algorithms:

  • Q-Learning

    • Q-Learning is a value-based RL algorithm that learns the optimal action-value function.
    • Q-Learning
  • Deep Q-Network (DQN)

    • DQN is an extension of Q-Learning that uses a deep neural network to approximate the action-value function.
    • Deep Q-Network
  • Policy Gradient Methods

    • Policy Gradient methods directly learn the policy that maps states to actions.

  • SARSA

    • SARSA is a state-action-reward-state-action (SARSA) algorithm that learns the optimal state-action value function.
