Introduction to Artificial Intelligence - Lecture 15 - Introduction to Reinforcement Learning

This lecture from Memorial University's Computer Science 3200/6980 "Introduction to Artificial Intelligence" course introduces the fundamentals of Reinforcement Learning. Taught by Professor David Churchill in Winter 2025, this 66-minute session explores key algorithmic techniques and data structures used in modern AI problem-solving environments. Learn about the core concepts of Reinforcement Learning, a critical area of AI where agents learn optimal behaviors through interaction with their environment. While the course assignments apply these techniques to simple games, note that course files are not released publicly. This lecture is part of a comprehensive AI curriculum that covers both undergraduate (3200) and graduate (6980) level content.
