Environment Engineering: The Foundation of RL Systems

via CodeSignal

Overview

In this course, we introduce the basic Reinforcement Learning (RL) framework and explore how to build a simple environment from scratch. We discuss states, actions, and rewards, then outline how an environment class should be structured and implement it.
