Understanding Markov Decision Processes
- Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) are used to model decision-making problems in which outcomes are partly random and partly under the control of a decision maker.
- MDPs consist of a set of states, a set of actions, transition probabilities, and rewards.
- The aim of an MDP is to obtain good policies to obtain the best value.
- An optimal policy is calculated using the Bellman equation, and the optimal value for the game is obtained by evaluating the optimal policy.
- The value of a state depends on the values of the actions possible and the current policy.
- The Q-value, or the value of a state-action pair, depends on the expected next reward and the expected sum of the remaining rewards.
- The discount factor is a parameter that specifies the importance of future rewards relative to immediate rewards.
- When specifying the MDP, the transition probabilities should sum to 1.
- MDPs help in decision making processes that involve random outcomes and decisions to be made by the decision maker.
- Resources to further understand MDPs include the book on Reinforcement Learning by Sutton and Barto and the lecture on this topic by Dorsa Sadigh in CS 221 at Stanford.

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in Python: A Guide for Beginners
- OOP revolves around four main concepts: Encapsulation, Abstraction, Inheritance, and Polymorphism.
- Encapsulation bundles data and methods into a class to prevent unintended interference and misuse of data.
- Abstraction creates simpler representations of complex entities, allowing users to interact without understanding internal details.
- Inheritance allows new objects to inherit properties from existing objects, promoting code reusability.
