Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a branch of machine learning where an agent learns to make decisions by interacting with an environment. Unlike supervised learning, RL focuses on learning from rewards and punishments to optimize long-term outcomes.

Key Concepts 📘

  • Agent: The learner or decision-maker.
  • Environment: The world the agent interacts with.
  • Reward Signal: Feedback from the environment guiding the agent's actions.
  • Policy: Strategy that the agent uses to choose actions.
  • Value Function: Measures the long-term reward an agent can expect.
  • Model: Representation of the environment (optional).

Applications 🚀

  • Autonomous Driving 🚗
  • Game Playing 🎮 (e.g., AlphaGo)
  • Robotics 🤖
  • Recommendation Systems 📈
  • Resource Management 💡
