ISBN-13: 9780262039246

“Reinforcement Learning: An Introduction (2nd Edition)” is a comprehensive guide to the field of reinforcement learning, written by experts in the field, Richard S. Sutton and Andrew G. Barto. This book provides a thorough introduction to the fundamental concepts and algorithms of reinforcement learning, a type of machine learning where an agent learns to make decisions by interacting with its environment and receiving feedback in the form of rewards or punishments.

The book covers a wide range of topics, including Markov decision processes, dynamic programming, Monte Carlo methods, temporal-difference learning, and deep reinforcement learning. It also explores applications of reinforcement learning in various domains, such as robotics, game playing, and natural language processing.

With clear explanations, illustrative examples, and exercises at the end of each chapter, “Reinforcement Learning: An Introduction” is suitable for both students and practitioners looking to deepen their understanding of this exciting and rapidly evolving field. Whether you are new to reinforcement learning or looking to expand your knowledge, this book is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in machine learning and artificial intelligence.

This edition retains the full content with the added advantage of portability, allowing readers to easily access and engage with the material from any device, whether in a classroom or during fieldwork.
