So far, we have learned about how reinforcement learning (RL) works. In the upcoming chapters, we will learn about Deep reinforcement learning (DRL), which is a combination of deep learning and RL. DRL is creating a lot of buzz around the RL community and is making a serious impact on solving many RL tasks. To understand DRL, we need to have a strong foundation in deep learning. Deep learning is actually a subset of machine learning and it is all about neural networks. Deep learning has been around for a decade, but the reason it is so popular right now is because of the computational advancements and availability of a huge volume of data. With this huge volume of data, deep learning algorithms will outperform all classic machine learning algorithms. Therefore, in this chapter, we will learn about several deep learning algorithms like recurrent neural...

Overview of this book
Reinforcement Learning (RL) is the trending and most promising branch of artificial intelligence. Hands-On Reinforcement learning with Python will help you master not only the basic reinforcement learning algorithms but also the advanced deep reinforcement learning algorithms.
The book starts with an introduction to Reinforcement Learning followed by OpenAI Gym, and TensorFlow. You will then explore various RL algorithms and concepts, such as Markov Decision Process, Monte Carlo methods, and dynamic programming, including value and policy iteration. This example-rich guide will introduce you to deep reinforcement learning algorithms, such as Dueling DQN, DRQN, A3C, PPO, and TRPO. You will also learn about imagination-augmented agents, learning from human preference, DQfD, HER, and many more of the recent advancements in reinforcement learning.
By the end of the book, you will have all the knowledge and experience needed to implement reinforcement learning and deep reinforcement learning in your projects, and you will be all set to enter the world of artificial intelligence.
