November MLAI Meetup -- Eike Germann, Introduction to Reinforcement Learning
Eike Germann, Introduction to Reinforcement Learning What is Reinforcement Learning? How is it different from the machine learning we're familiar with? I'll present some foundational ideas (Markov decision processes, policy iteration, value iteration etc) and talk about their limitations. What algorithms are currently used to address those limitations and how do they do it? Based on these, I'll give a short overview of what RL is used currently used for - from training a machine to play space invaders to robotic movement in the real world.
