FAQs
What mathematical background do I need for this reinforcement learning course?
You should understand basic probability and statistics from Introduction to Statistics in Python. Familiarity with NumPy, pandas, and scikit-learn from prerequisite courses is also required.
What RL algorithms will I implement?
You will implement policy iteration, value iteration, first-visit and every-visit Monte Carlo methods, SARSA, Q-Learning, Expected SARSA, and Double Q-Learning throughout the course.
What environments from Gymnasium will I use?
You will train agents to navigate environments like frozen lakes and mountain car scenarios from OpenAI's Gymnasium toolkit, learning to visualize states and perform actions.
What is the difference between model-based and model-free learning in this course?
Model-based learning uses Markov Decision Processes with known transition probabilities, while model-free methods like Monte Carlo and Q-Learning learn directly from experience without a model.
Does the course cover the exploration versus exploitation tradeoff?
Yes. The final chapter teaches epsilon-greedy and epsilon-decay strategies for balancing exploration and exploitation, and applies them to the Multi-Armed Bandit Problem.
