Eyal Wirsansky

Eyal Wirsansky is a senior data scientist, an experienced software engineer, a technology community leader, and an artificial intelligence researcher. Eyal began his software engineering career over twenty-five years ago as a pioneer in the field of Voice over IP. He currently works as a member of the data platform team at Gradle, Inc. During his graduate studies, he focused his research on genetic algorithms and neural networks. A notable result of this research is a novel supervised machine learning algorithm that integrates both approaches. In addition to his professional roles, Eyal serves as an adjunct professor at Jacksonville University, where he teaches a class on artificial intelligence. He also leads both the Jacksonville, Florida Java User Group and the Artificial Intelligence for Enterprise virtual user group, and authors the developer-focused artificial intelligence blog, ai4java.

OpenAI Gym

OpenAI Gym (https://github.com/openai/gym) is an open source library that was written to allow access to a standardized set of reinforcement learning tasks. It provides a toolkit that can be used to compare and develop reinforcement learning algorithms.

OpenAI Gym consists of a collection of environments, all presenting a common interface called env. This interface decouples the various environments from the agents, which can be implemented in any way we like—the only requirement from the agent is that it can interact with the environment(s) via the env interface. This will be described in the next subsection.

The basic package, gym, provides access to several environments and can be installed as follows:

pip install gym

Several other packages are available, such as 'Atari', 'Box2D', and 'MuJoCo', that provide access to numerous...
