Overview of this book

Deep Reinforcement Learning Hands-On is a comprehensive guide to the very latest DL tools and their limitations. You will evaluate methods including Cross-entropy and policy gradients, before applying them to real-world environments. Take on both the Atari set of virtual games and family favorites such as Connect4. The book provides an introduction to the basics of RL, giving you the know-how to code intelligent learning agents to take on a formidable array of practical tasks. Discover how to implement Q-learning on 'grid world' environments, teach your agent to buy and trade stocks, and find out how natural language models are driving the boom in chatbots.

Chapter 14. Continuous Action Space

This chapter kicks off the advanced Reinforcement Learning (RL) part of the book by taking a look at the problems that we've only briefly mentioned before: working with environments when our action space is not discrete. In this chapter, we'll become familiar with the challenges that arise in such cases and learn how to solve them.
