Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a dynamic field where agents learn optimal strategies through interaction with an environment. This tutorial dives into advanced concepts and techniques to elevate your understanding.

🔍 Key Topics Covered

  • Deep Q-Networks (DQN)
    • Combines Q-learning with deep neural networks for high-dimensional state spaces.
    • Deep Q-Network
  • Policy Gradients
    • Directly optimizes policies using gradient ascent.
    • Suitable for continuous action spaces.
  • Actor-Critic Methods
    • Balances exploration and exploitation with actor and critic networks.
    • Actor-Critic Architecture
  • Multi-Agent Systems
    • Collaborative or competitive learning in environments with multiple agents.
    • Explore multi-agent RL basics for foundational concepts.

🧠 Advanced Techniques

  1. Experience Replay
    • Stores past experiences to break correlation in training data.
  2. Target Networks
    • Stabilizes training by using a separate network for target value estimation.
  3. Distributional RL
    • Models the full distribution of returns instead of just their expectations.
  4. Meta-RL
    • Enables agents to learn how to learn across tasks.
