Description

The process of reinforcement learning (RL) involves trial and error; rewarding actions; and remembering past experiences overtime. This technique is used when building sequential decision-making solutions like automated self-driving cars, video games or personalized content recommendations.  However, some of the challenges in building reinforcement learning models is it takes a long time for the system to learn and getting a high accuracy.  In this session, we'll explore different reinforcement learning solutions like how to implement relevant user experiences that improve over time, based on behavior using a pre-built API; and how to build your custom model from scratch in python while increasing the learning speed and final performance.
