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).
