About this course

The journey

Reinforcement learning is how an AI learns from rewards instead of examples. You start with a tiny grid world and Q-learning, then move to deep Q-networks for arcade games and policy-gradient methods for continuous control.

Each method is implemented from scratch first and then compared with a standard library, and every agent is shown playing so you can see learning happen.

    Great intuition, needs patience

    Watching the agents improve is addictive. Policy gradients are hard and the course does not pretend otherwise; plan extra time for that module.
