Course Description

Overview

This course starts from the very beginnings of Reinforcement Learning and works its way up to a complete understanding of Q-learning, one of the core reinforcement learning algorithms.

In part II of this course, you'll use neural networks to implement Q-learning to produce powerful and effective learning agents (neural nets are the "Deep" in "Deep Reinforcement Learning").
