Top Trends in Reinforcement Learning that You Should Know

It is the science, of decision making. It is about learning the optimal behaviour in an environment to obtain maximum reward. This optimal behaviour is learned through interactions with the environment and observations of how it responds, similar to children exploring the world around them and learning the actions that help them achieve a goal. In the absence of a supervisor, the learner must independently discover the sequence of actions that maximize the reward. This discovery process is akin to a trial-and-error search.
