Reinforcement Learning: Beyond Games, Toward Real-World Dexterity
Reinforcement Learning (RL) is transforming fields from robotics and game playing to finance and healthcare, offering a powerful paradigm for training intelligent agents to make optimal decisions in complex environments. Unlike supervised or unsupervised learning, RL focuses on learning through interaction, allowing agents to discover strategies by trial and error, maximizing a cumulative reward signal. Dive in to explore the fundamental principles, practical applications, and exciting future directions of reinforcement learning.
What is Reinforcement Learning?
Reinforcement learning is a type of machine learning where an agent learns to behave in an environment by performing actions and receiving rewards or penalties. The agent's goal is to learn a policy – a mapping from states to action...
