Today we discuss the most generic abstract task in machine learning: reinforcement learning. Reinforcement Learning models an agent that interacts with its environment. We dicuss the basic task of RL, and three ways to solve it: random search, policy gradients and Q learning.
Then, we have a look at some recent successes of deep reinforcement learning (combining RL with deep neural networks): AlphaGO, AlphaZero and AlphaStar.
