Study Notes
Role of Reward Function and Primary Goal of Agent
- The reward function in reinforcement learning determines the reward or penalty for an agent's actions in a particular state.
- The primary goal of an agent in reinforcement learning is to maximize the cumulative reward over time.
Learning from Observed Samples
- The main purpose of learning based on observed samples of outcomes is to learn a policy that maps states to actions.
'Learning to Walk' Example
- The 'Learning to Walk' example illustrates the key aspect of reinforcement learning, which is trial and error learning through exploration and exploitation.
'Crawler' Symbolism
- The 'crawler' symbolizes an agent that learns through trial and error.
Significance of Agent's Utility
- An agent's utility in reinforcement learning represents the satisfaction or happiness it derives from taking a particular action in a particular state.
Markov Decision Process (MDP)
- The primary focus when dealing with Reinforcement Learning within a Markov decision process (MDP) is to learn an optimal policy that maximizes the expected cumulative reward.
- The new twist in Reinforcement Learning when dealing with Markov decision processes is the integration of probabilistic transitions and rewards.
Model-Based Learning
- The first step in Model-Based Learning for Reinforcement Learning is to learn a model of the environment.
- The primary focus in model-based learning for reinforcement learning within a Markov decision process is to learn a model that accurately predicts the next state and reward.
Passive Reinforcement Learning
- The goal of Passive Reinforcement Learning in the simplified task of policy evaluation is to learn the value function of a fixed policy.
Direct Evaluation
- The purpose of Direct Evaluation in Reinforcement Learning is to evaluate the performance of a policy without learning a model of the environment.
Model-Free Learning
- In model-free learning, the learner's role when evaluating a fixed policy is to learn the value function of the policy without learning a model of the environment.
- Model-free learning works when dealing with unknown probabilities because it focuses on learning from experiences rather than modeling the environment.
