报告摘要:

This talk is developed to the principles of reinforcement learning (RL) as a framework for solving control tasks, so-called decision problems, by building agents that learn from the environment. Specifically, Markov decision processes are introduced as an environment for reinforcement learning description, then, policies and value functions together with some examples are given for solving RL problem.
