Courses
-
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.
-
In this course, we focus on building a Q-learning agent step by step. We start with the Bellman equation and the Q-table update, then implement a basic Q-learning function. Next, we incorporate an exploration policy (ε-greedy), and finally we demonstrate how to use the learned Q-table for decision making.
-
In this course, we integrate the grid-world environment with a Q-learning agent, focusing on agent-environment interaction and training over multiple episodes. We explore the exploration vs. exploitation tradeoff using an ε-greedy strategy and visualize performance through reward plots and policy displays.
-
The final course explores advanced techniques to enhance our RL systems. We'll implement random goal positions, hazardous environments with mines, and reward shaping, concluding with an exploration of cutting-edge RL developments that point toward future applications.
