Be warned though: they can take lots of time and may cause you some moments of frustration during your experiments. However, these experiments are a very efficient way to really master the material from a practical point of view:

  • Try to take some other games from the Atari set, such as Breakout, Atlantis, or River Raid (my childhood favorite). This could require the tuning of hyperparameters.
  • As an alternative to FrozenLake, there is another tabular environment, Taxi, which emulates a taxi driver who needs to pick up passengers and take them to a destination.
  • Play with Pong hyperparameters. Is it possible to train faster? OpenAI claims that it can solve Pong in 30 minutes using the asynchronous advantage actor-critic method (which is a subject of part three of this book). Maybe it's possible with a DQN.
  • Can...
