Introduction to Reinforcement Learning 🧠🤖

Hello and welcome to our course, "Reinforcement Learning" – a pivotal and thrilling field within Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. Often hailed as the crown jewel of AI, RL is not just about algorithms; it's about creating intelligent systems that can learn to make decisions by themselves through trial and error. In this course, we will dive deep into all aspects related to Reinforcement Learning (RL), from the fundamentals to its advanced applications with Deep Learning.

• Understanding RL vs. Supervised Learning: We start by defining the RL problem, contrasting it with Supervised Learning, and exploring the areas where RL truly shines, such as robotics, games, autonomous vehicles, finance, and more.
• Practical Application: We'll cover problem formulation from scratch to advanced scenarios, using libraries like OpenAI Gym, Keras-RL, TensorFlow Agents (TF-Agents), and Stable Baselines to implement these algorithms in real-world problems.

Course Structure 📜✨

The course is meticulously structured into six comprehensive sections:

1. Introduction to RL Problem Definition: We begin by understanding how RL differs from Supervised Learning and the various domains where RL can be applied, including an introduction to OpenAI Gym environments.

2. Markov Decision Processes (MDPs): Here we dive into the core of RL, MDPs, and learn about simple problem solutions using Dynamic Programming.

3. Beyond Dynamic Programming: We explore the vast solution space for MDPs, focusing on model-free methods like Monte-Carlo and Temporal-Difference techniques, including Q-learning and SARSA. You'll see these in action with practical implementations in OpenAI Gym tabular maze problems.

4. Function Approximation and Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL): This part introduces the breakthrough algorithms like DeepQ Networks (DQN), which were used by DeepMind to solve Atari games and AlphaGO. We'll also get hands-on with DQN using Keras-RL and TF-Agents to solve Atari problems.

5. Advanced DRL Algorithms: We delve into Policy based methods, including Policy Gradients, DDPG, Actor-Critic, A2C, A3C, TRPO, and PPO. You'll learn how to implement these with the Stable Baseline library in environments like Atari and others.

6. Model-Based RL Methods: Finally, we explore model-based RL, planning, and the spectrum of RL methods, offering a comprehensive view of the field.
