Ans) Situated in between supervised learning and unsupervised learning, the paradigm of reinforcement
learning deals with learning in sequential decision making problems in which there is limited feedback.
This text introduces the intuitions and concepts behind Markov decision processes and two classes of
algorithms for computing optimal behaviors: reinforcement learning and dynamic programming. First the
formal framework of Markov decision process is de ned, accompanied by the de nition of value functions
and policies. The main part of this text deals with introducing foundational classes of algorithms for
learning optimal behaviors, based on various de nitions of optimality with respect to the goal of learning
sequential decisions. Additionally, it surveys efficient extensions of the foundational algorithms, differing
mainly in the way feedback given by the environment is used to speed up learning, and in the way they
concentrate on relevant parts of the problem. For both model-based and model-free settings these
efficient extensions have shown useful in scaling up to larger problems.

3. Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) and Reinforcement Learning (RL) (a) Consider the following
Markov Decision Process (MDP) of a robot running with an ice-cream: • The actions are either to run or
walk. • The three states are: having one scoop of ice-cream (1S), having two scoops (2S), or having none
(OS). Walking will always give the robot a reward of +1. Running with one scoop...

Let’s consider the following 3-state MDP(Markov Decision Process) for a robot trying to walk, the three
states being ‘Fallen‘, ‘Standing‘ and ‘Moving‘, as shown in the following gure. Use the MDP formulation
to code the following problem and nd the optimal Values using the value iteration algorithm. And then
use policy iteration method to nd optimal policy for discount factor...
