Description
Reinforcement Learning (RL) possesses immense potential and is doubtless one of the most dynamic and stimulating fields of research in Artificial Intelligence. RL is considered as a game-changer in Data Science, particularly after observing the winnings of AI agents AlphaGo Zero and OpenAI Five against top human champions. However, RL is not restricted to games.
The progress in Reinforcement Learning, especially during the last few years, has been sensational. RL is everywhere now, ranging from resource management to chemistry, from healthcare to finance, and from Recommender Systems to more advanced applications in stock prediction.
Since RL is goal-oriented learning, an understanding of RL is not only vital but also indispensable in all the fields of Data Science. This course will enable you to take your career to the next level, as it presents you with a clear explanation of the concepts and implementations of RL in Data Science.
The course ‘Reinforcement Learning, Theory and Practice’ provides you with an opportunity for innovative, independent learning. The course focuses on the practical applications of RL and includes a hands-on project. The course is:
· Easy to understand.
· Descriptive.
· Comprehensive.
· Practical with live coding.
· Rich with advanced and the most recently discovered RL models by the champions in this field.
This course is designed for beginners, although complex concepts are covered later.
As this course is a compilation of all the basics, it will inspire you to move forward and experience much more than what you have learned. You will be assigned homework/ tasks/ activities at the end of each module, which will assess / (further build) your learning based on the concepts and methods you have learned earlier on. Since the aim is to get you up and running with implementations, many of these activities will be coding based.
Data Science is unquestionably a rewarding career. You get to solve some of the most interesting problems, and you are rewarded with a handsome salary package. A core understanding of RL will empower you with more AI tools and ensure progressive career growth.
As we have already said, RL possesses immense potential. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to learn the advanced concepts and methodologies of RL at a highly competitive price. The tutorials are subdivided into 75+ short HD videos along with detailed code notebooks.
