Keras Reinforcement Learning Projects

By: Giuseppe Ciaburro

Overview of this book

Reinforcement learning has evolved a lot in the last couple of years and proven to be a successful technique in building smart and intelligent AI networks. Keras Reinforcement Learning Projects installs human-level performance into your applications using algorithms and techniques of reinforcement learning, coupled with Keras, a faster experimental library. The book begins with getting you up and running with the concepts of reinforcement learning using Keras. You’ll learn how to simulate a random walk using Markov chains and select the best portfolio using dynamic programming (DP) and Python. You’ll also explore projects such as forecasting stock prices using Monte Carlo methods, delivering vehicle routing application using Temporal Distance (TD) learning algorithms, and balancing a Rotating Mechanical System using Markov decision processes. Once you’ve understood the basics, you’ll move on to Modeling of a Segway, running a robot control system using deep reinforcement learning, and building a handwritten digit recognition model in Python using an image dataset. Finally, you’ll excel in playing the board game Go with the help of Q-Learning and reinforcement learning algorithms. By the end of this book, you’ll not only have developed hands-on training on concepts, algorithms, and techniques of reinforcement learning but also be all set to explore the world of AI.

What's Next?

Reinforcement learning is an automatic learning technique that aims to implement systems able to learn and adapt to the changes in the environment in which they are immersed, through the distribution of a reward called reinforcement, which consists of evaluating their performance. It can be implemented by means of different algorithms, such as Q-learning, to be inserted into the system in which learning is to be carried out. This technology is increasingly widespread, thanks to its ability to interact with the environment.

In this chapter, we will summarize what has been covered so far in this book, and what the next steps are from this point on. You will learn how to apply the skills you have gained to other projects and real-life challenges in building and deploying reinforcement learning models, and other common technologies that data scientists often use...
