Hands-On Intelligent Agents with OpenAI Gym

Overview of this book

Many real-world problems can be broken down into tasks that require a series of decisions to be made or actions to be taken. The ability to solve such tasks without a machine being programmed requires a machine to be artificially intelligent and capable of learning to adapt. This book is an easy-to-follow guide to implementing learning algorithms for machine software agents in order to solve discrete or continuous sequential decision making and control tasks. Hands-On Intelligent Agents with OpenAI Gym takes you through the process of building intelligent agent algorithms using deep reinforcement learning starting from the implementation of the building blocks for configuring, training, logging, visualizing, testing, and monitoring the agent. You will walk through the process of building intelligent agents from scratch to perform a variety of tasks. In the closing chapters, the book provides an overview of the latest learning environments and learning algorithms, along with pointers to more resources that will help you take your deep reinforcement learning skills to the next level.

Preface

This book will guide you through the process of implementing your own intelligent agents to solve both discrete- and continuous-valued sequential decision-making problems with all the essential building blocks to develop, debug, train, visualize, customize, and test your intelligent agent implementations in a variety of learning environments, ranging from the Mountain Car and Cart Pole problems to Atari games and CARLA – an advanced simulator for autonomous driving.
