Reinforcement Learning (RL) #

RL is learning by trial and error.

Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a type of machine learning where an autonomous agent learns to make decisions by interacting with an environment.

Instead of being told the correct answer, the agent:

  • takes actions
  • observes outcomes
  • receives rewards or penalties
  • gradually learns a strategy that maximises long-term reward

Reinforcement Learning teaches an agent how to act, not what to predict.
