Agent & Environment Interface: At each step t the agent receives a state S_t, performs an action A_t and receives a reward R_{t+1}. The action is chosen according to a policy function pi. The total return G_t is the sum of all rewards starting from time t . Future rewards are discounted at a discount rate gamma^k. Markov property: The environment's response at time t+1 depends only on the state ..
David Silver / UCL Course on RL https://www.davidsilver.uk/teaching/ Teaching - David Silver www.davidsilver.uk Reinforcement Learning (RL) is concerned with goal-directed learning and decision-making. In RL, an agent learns from experiences it gains by interacting with the environment. In Supervised Learning we cannot affect the environment. In RL, rewards are often delayed in time and the agen..
