Do you recall the days when your teacher instructed you to solve a difficult problem? If you got it wrong, you were the class clown for a whole week; if you got it right, you had to spend a week fixing and improving. That is basically how AI uses reinforcement learning; the main distinction is that in this case, the learner is a machine rather than a human. While AI's reinforcement learning is currently controlling the steering of your Tesla, it's also optimizing the traffic signals in your neighborhood, and it has the potential to completely transform a number of industries in the near future. Reinforcement learning: What is it? In the field of machine learning known as reinforcement learning (RL), an agent picks up decision-making skills via interacting with its surroundings. While the environment uses rewards or punishments to ensure feedback, the agent acts to accomplish a goal. This process is similar to how animals and people learn by making mistakes. For example, think ...
