Location: 4th Floor (Workshop space) at 300 Ouellette Avenue (School of Computer Science Advanced Computing Hub)
Abstract:
Reinforcement learning (RL) is the training of machine learning models to make a sequence of decisions. The agent learns to achieve a goal in an uncertain, potentially complex environment. In reinforcement learning, an artificial intelligence faces a game-like situation. The computer employs trial and error to come up with a solution to the problem. This workshop will introduce the main concepts of Reinforcement Learning (RL) with examples.
Workshop Outline:
• What is the difference between Reinforcement Learning and other machine learning methods?
• Components of RL
• RL learning process
• Example of RL
• Q&A
