Deep Reinforcement

Learning in Action
 By

Humans learn best from feedback-we are encouraged to take actions

that lead to positive results while deterred by decisions with
negative consequences. This reinforcement process can be applied
to computer programs allowing them to solve more complex
problems that classical programming cannot.

Deep Reinforcement Learning in Action teaches you the

fundamental concepts and terminology of deep reinforcement
learning, along with the practical skills and techniques you'll need to
implement it into your own projects.

Key features

* Structuring problems as Markov Decision Processes

* Popular algorithms such Deep Q-Networks, Policy Gradient

method and Evolutionary Algorithms and the intuitions that drive
them

* Applying reinforcement learning algorithms to real-world

problems

Audience

You'll need intermediate Python skills and a basic understanding of

deep learning.

About the technology

Deep reinforcement learning is a form of machine learning in which

AI agents learn optimal behavior from their own raw sensory input.
The system perceives the environment, interprets the results of its
past decisions, and uses this information to optimize its behavior for
maximum long-term return. Deep reinforcement learning famously
contributed to the success of AlphaGo but that's not all it can do!
