A Beginner’s Guide to Reinforcement Learning and its Basic Implementation from Scratch

Let’s consider the analogy of teaching a dog new dog tricks. In this scenario, we emulate a situation and the dog tries to respond in different ways. If the dog’s response is a desired one, we reward it with dog food. Else, we convey in one way or the other that its response isn’t the desired one. Now, every time the dog is exposed to the same situation, the dog executes a similar action with even more enthusiasm in expectation of more food. It is basically learning what to do from positive experiences. Similarly, it will tend to learn what not to do when coming face to face with negative experiences. <a href="https://medium.com/analytics-vidhya/a-beginners-guide-to-reinforcement-learning-and-its-basic-implementation-from-scratch-2c0b5444cc49">Website</a>
