Overview of this book

Welcome to the Robot World … and start building intelligent software now! Through his best-selling video courses, Hadelin de Ponteves has taught hundreds of thousands of people to write AI software. Now, for the first time, his hands-on, energetic approach is available as a book. Starting with the basics before easing you into more complicated formulas and notation, AI Crash Course gives you everything you need to build AI systems with reinforcement learning and deep learning. Five full working projects put the ideas into action, showing step-by-step how to build intelligent software using the best and easiest tools for AI programming, including Python, TensorFlow, Keras, and PyTorch. AI Crash Course teaches everyone to build an AI to work in their applications. Once you've read this book, you're only limited by your imagination.

Implementation

You'll develop the code as you work along this chapter, but keep in mind that I've provided the whole implementation of Thompson Sampling for this application; you have it available on the GitHub page (https://github.com/PacktPublishing/AI-Crash-Course) of this book. If you want to try and run the code, you can do it on Colaboratory, Spyder in Anaconda, or simply your favorite IDE.

Thompson Sampling vs. Random Selection

While implementing Thompson Sampling, you'll also implement the Random Selection algorithm, which will simply select a random strategy at each round. This will be your benchmark to evaluate the performance of your Thompson Sampling model. Of course, Thompson Sampling and the Random Selection algorithm will be competing on the same simulation, that is, on the same environment matrix.

Performance measure

In the end, after the whole simulation is done, you can assess the performance of Thompson Sampling by computing...
