Course Description

Overview

Reinforcement learning is a paradigm that aims to model the trial-and-error learning process that is needed in many problem situations where explicit instructive signals are not available. It has roots in operations research, behavioral psychology and AI. The goal of the course is to introduce the basic mathematical foundations of reinforcement learning, as well as highlight some of the recent directions of research.INTENDED AUDIENCE : Any interested learnerINDUSTRY SUPPORT :Data analytics/data science/robotics
