Under the Hood with Reinforcement Learning – Understanding Basic RL Models

Summary: Reinforcement Learning (RL) is likely to be the next big push in artificial intelligence. But the concept of modeling in RL is very different from our statistical techniques and deep learning. In this two part series we'll take a look at the basics of RL models, how they're built and used. In the next part, we'll address some of the complexities that make development a challenge. Now that we have pretty much conquered speech, text, and image processing with deep neural nets, it's time to turn our attention to what comes next. It's likely that the next most important area of development for AI will be reinforcement learning (RL).
