Reinforcement Learning: Concepts, Challenges and Opportunities
Reinforcement Learning: Concepts, Challenges and Opportunities

Abstract: 

Reinforcement Learning (RL) is an interesting and challenging area of semi-supervised machine learning that has a wide variety of applications including games, personalized recommendation, bidding and advertising, robotics, traffic light control and many others. RL can autonomously get optimal policy with the knowledge obtained by trial-and-error and continuously interacting with a dynamic environment. Recent research in Deep learning (DL), Reinforcement learning (RL), and their combination (Deep RL) promises to revolutionize Artificial Intelligence. The growth in computational power accompanied by faster and increased data storage and declining computing costs have allowed scientists and engineers in various fields to apply these techniques on datasets that were previously considered intractable for their size and complexity. In this talk, I will present the fundamentals of Reinforcement Learning along with its recent advances, applications and challenges.
