The what, why and how of Reinforcement Learning.

The past decade has seen the field of Reinforcement Learning make major progress. The recent hype in RL can be attributed to the developments in Deep Learning, which have resulted in establishing the field of Deep Reinforcement Learning. This video explores the foundations of RL in psychology and goes on to discuss the basic terminology associated with the field.

Hey there, awesome people! 👋
Hope you are all doing well. Thanks for stopping by, I hope you found the video useful. ✨

// Who am I? 👩‍💻
I respond to the names: Saasha, Sash and Nair. Unless of course, I am lost in my own world, which, I must warn you, happens quite often. 🤪
I am interested in all things AI, especially topics relating to Reinforcement Learning and Safety. I recently shifted to Pisa, Italy to pursue a year long research fellowship at the Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies, and am focusing on improving trustworthiness of Autonomous Vehicles. 🚗

// Why this YouTube channel? 🎥
AI is a vast and ever-growing field, and so I hope to use this channel to document my journey in this space. I hope to make this channel a place for like-minded individuals to gather to learn from each other and grow together. Looking forward to getting to know all of you awesome beings! 💙

It is kind of sci-fi how computer science have gotten so far, at a point of being able to abstract almost everything, in this particular case how we found the way to make computers act as humans, making them trainable, making them behave like us, I think this is the whole point of this, make something like us, without our limitations so it can be a better us. Brilliant !

Hii Saasha,
It was extremely informative video.
I would like a suggestion on how to start learn reinforcement learning.
