Frequently asked questions

What are the different types of Reinforcement Learning?

Reinforcement learning encompasses various approaches, including Q-learning and Deep Q-Networks.

What is the focus on evaluating the quality of states and actions (Q-?

The focus in Q-learning and Deep Q-Networks is on evaluating the quality of states and actions to determine optimal policies.

What is Policy-Based Learning?

Policy-based learning directly learns a policy without explicitly estimating value functions.

What is direct learning of the policy without evaluating values?

This refers to Policy Gradient methods, which optimize the policy directly based on sampled transitions.
