Course Details
• Introduction to Reinforcement Learning: Origins, basic concepts, and key terminology. Explore the difference between reinforcement learning and other machine learning paradigms.
• Markov Decision Processes: Understand the mathematical framework for modeling decision-making processes. Learn about states, actions, rewards, and transition probabilities.
• Dynamic Programming: Study methods for solving MDPs using value and policy iteration. Learn about Bellman equations and optimal policies.
• Monte Carlo Methods: Dive into model-free methods for estimating value functions. Understand first-visit and every-visit Monte Carlo methods.
• Temporal Difference Learning: Learn about model-free methods that update estimates based on the difference between subsequent estimates. Discover the power of TD(0), SARSA, and Q-learning.
• Function Approximation: Explore methods for approximating value functions using neural networks and other function approximators. Understand the challenges and benefits of using function approximation in RL.
• Policy Gradient Methods: Study methods for optimizing policies directly without estimating value functions. Understand the REINFORCE algorithm and its variants.
• Deep Reinforcement Learning: Delve into the use of deep neural networks in RL. Examine the applications and limitations of DQN, DDPG, TRPO, and PPO.
• Exploration and Exploitation Strategies: Master techniques for managing the trade-off between exploration and exploitation, such as epsilon-greedy, Boltzmann exploration, and UCB.
• Applications of Reinforcement Learning: Discover real-world applications of RL, such as game playing, robotics, recommendation systems, and autonomous driving.
