Reinforcement learning course: hands-on, step by step, and free

Reinforcement Learning (RL) is the kind of machine learning closest to how humans and animals learn. It offers us a path towards building general AI systems that can tackle the most complex problems we can think of. In this reinforcement learning course, I will teach you how.

Welcome to the Hands-on reinforcement learning course ❤️

Let’s walk this beautiful path from the fundamentals to cutting edge deep reinforcement learning, together!

👉🏽From zero to HERO 🦸🏻🦸🏼🦸🏽🦸🏾🦸🏿🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️

👉🏽Step by step

👉🏽Clean Python code

👉🏽Intuitions, tips and tricks explained.

Code

All the reinforcement learning course code is in this Github repo. Don’t forget to give it a ⭐!

3. SARSA to beat gravity

The Mountain Car problem is an environment where gravity exists (what a surprise) and the goal is to help a poor car win the battle against it.

SARSA is a classical online algorithm that solve this problem like a charm.
