Introduction to reinforcement learning

Reinforcement learning mimics how humans learn: by interacting with environment, repeating actions for which the reward that is received is higher, and avoiding risky moves for which there is a low or negative reward as an outcome of their actions.

Practical Reinforcement Learning
Practical Reinforcement Learning
Reinforcement learning (RL) is becoming a popular tool for constructing autonomous systems that improve themselves with experience. We will break the RL framework into its core building blocks, and provide you with details of each element. This book is divided into three parts. The first part defines Reinforcement Learning and describes the basics and the Python and Java frameworks, which we are going to use later in the book. The second part discusses learning techniques with basic algorithms such as Temporal Difference, Monte Carlo, and Policy Gradient—all with practical examples. Lastly, in the third part we apply Reinforcement Learning with the most recent and widely used algorithms, via practical applications.

Ever wonder why speech recognition systems don't understand the Scottish accent, or what would happen if an astronaut only ate mac 'n' cheese, or other spurious reflections you'd have at a bar? We did, then collated those deliberations into absurd research articles with fake figures and methodologies inspired by even more fictionally absurd studies.
