This updated guide delves into deep reinforcement learning, showcasing its applications in addressing intricate real-world challenges. The new edition features expanded content on multi-agent methods, discrete optimization, and the role of reinforcement learning in robotics. Additionally, it covers advanced exploration techniques, making it a comprehensive resource for both beginners and experienced practitioners seeking to deepen their understanding of this rapidly evolving field.

Recent developments in reinforcement learning (RL), combined with deep learning (DL), have seen unprecedented progress made towards training agents to solve complex problems in a human-like way. Google's use of algorithms to play and defeat the well-known Atari arcade games has propelled the field to prominence, and researchers are generating new ideas at a rapid pace. Deep Reinforcement Learning Hands-On is a comprehensive guide to the very latest DL tools and their limitations. You will evaluate methods including Cross-entropy and policy gradients, before applying them to real-world environments. Take on both the Atari set of virtual games and family favorites such as Connect4. The book provides an introduction to the basics of RL, giving you the know-how to code intelligent learning agents to take on a formidable array of practical tasks. Discover how to implement Q-learning on 'grid world' environments, teach your agent to buy and trade stocks, and find out how natural language models are driving the boom in chatbots.
