Study Notes

Introduction to Deep Reinforcement Learning

Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) is the integration of deep learning and reinforcement learning to learn optimal actions and maximize rewards in various states of an environment.

Deep Learning

Purpose: Approximates functions for high-dimensional, complex problems where exact solutions are infeasible with tabular methods.
Techniques: Utilizes deep neural networks.
Applications: Image recognition, speech recognition, and pedestrian recognition in images.

Reinforcement Learning (RL)

Purpose: Learns optimal actions through feedback from the environment.
Mechanism: Operates via trial and error, learning from the outcomes of actions.
Applications: Solving sequential decision problems like playing games, autonomous driving, and controlling robotic systems.
Interaction: The agent interacts with complex, high-dimensional environments.
Feedback Loop: Actions are taken, feedback is received, and the agent learns to optimize its actions based on this feedback.

Function Approximation

Uses neural networks to approximate complex functions in high-dimensional spaces.
Progress: Significant advancements in recognizing images and understanding spoken language.

Learning Paradigm

RL is distinct from supervised learning and unsupervised learning as it learns from the consequences of actions rather than from static datasets.
Exploration and Exploitation: Balances exploring new actions and exploiting known successful actions to optimize rewards.

Applications of DRL

Autonomous Driving: Systems learn to navigate and make driving decisions.
Game Playing: Achieving superhuman performance in games like Atari, Go, poker, and StarCraft.
Molecular Recombination: Designing molecules for pharmaceuticals.
Robotics: Teaching robots to perform complex tasks and maneuvers.

Psychology: Studies human learning processes which inspire DRL methodologies.
Mathematics: Provides the theoretical foundation for algorithms used in DRL.
Engineering: Focuses on practical applications of DRL technologies.
Biology: Examines biological learning processes that influence DRL.

Machine Learning Paradigms

Supervised Learning: Learning from labeled data where the correct output is provided.
Unsupervised Learning: Learning patterns from unlabeled data.
Reinforcement Learning: Learning from the consequences of actions by receiving rewards or penalties.

Machine Learning Questions

Intelligence: The ability to learn, understand, and apply knowledge to solve problems and adapt to new situations.
Machine Learning: A subset of artificial intelligence that involves training algorithms to make predictions or decisions based on data.
Accuracy: The measure of correctly predicted instances out of the total instances in a dataset.
Confusion Matrix: A table used to evaluate the performance of a classification model.
Overfitting: When a model learns the training data too well, including noise and outliers, resulting in poor performance on new, unseen data.
Generalization: The ability of a machine learning model to perform well on new, unseen data by learning the underlying patterns.
Bias-Variance: The balance between two sources of error in machine learning models. High bias can cause underfitting, while high variance can cause overfitting.
Regularization: A technique used to prevent overfitting by adding a penalty to the loss function for large coefficients in the model.
End-to-end learning: Involves training a model to directly map input data to the desired output in a single process, typically using deep neural networks.
Loss: A measure of how well a machine learning model's predictions match the actual target values.
CNN: A type of deep learning model designed to process and analyze visual data by using convolutional layers to extract features.
RNN: A type of neural network designed for sequential data, where connections between nodes form a directed graph along a temporal sequence.
LSTM: A type of RNN architecture that is capable of learning long-term dependencies and avoiding the vanishing gradient problem.
ImageNet: A dataset used for training and evaluating machine learning models.
