Deep Reinforcement Learning with Python

• Proficiency in Python
• An understanding of college Calculus and Linear Algebra
• Basic understanding of Probability and Statistics
• Experience creating machine learning models in Python and Numpy

Audience

• Developers
• Data Scientists

Deep Reinforcement Learning refers to the ability of an "artificial agent" to learn by trial-and-error and rewards-and-punishments. An artificial agent aims to emulate a human's ability to obtain and construct knowledge on its own, directly from raw inputs such as vision. To realize reinforcement learning, deep learning and neural networks are used. Reinforcement learning is different from machine learning and does not rely on supervised and unsupervised learning approaches.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at developers and data scientists who wish to learn the fundamentals of Deep Reinforcement Learning as they step through the creation of a Deep Learning Agent.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the key concepts behind Deep Reinforcement Learning and be able to distinguish it from Machine Learning.
• Apply advanced Reinforcement Learning algorithms to solve real-world problems.
• Build a Deep Learning Agent.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
