From the Grimoire: Reinforcement Learning (Part 4)
- The article covers Q-learning, Bellman property, replay buffers, polyak averaging, epsilon-greedy search, and general discussion about reinforcement learning.
- Q-Learning involves creating a 'Quality Function' to evaluate state-action pairs using neural networks.
- The Q-function has a recursive property called the Bellman equation, crucial for optimal behavior.
- The article explains the use of TD-error to train the neural network towards an optimal Q-function.
- Off-policy algorithms like Q-learning benefit from replays to improve training data efficiency.
- Introducing a target Q-function and using polyak averaging helps stabilize the optimization loop in Q-learning.
- The article discusses the explore vs. exploit dilemma in RL and the ϵ-greedy strategy for better exploration.
- RL models mimic human behavior and are preferred in game-like scenarios due to their effectiveness.
- Implementing RL requires computational resources, hyperparameter tuning, and trial-and-error for stability.
- The article concludes by emphasizing the importance of understanding RL concepts for effective application and future research.
