520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc Start your journey into reinforcement learning (RL) and reward yourself with the third edition of Deep Reinforcement Learning Hands-On. This book takes you from the basics of RL to more advanced concepts, using various applications, including game playing, discrete optimisation, stock trading, and web browser navigation. By walking you through landmark research papers in the field, this deep RL book will equip you with practical knowledge of RL and the theoretical foundation to understand and implement most modern RL papers.<br/>The book retains its approach of providing concise, easy-to-follow explanations from previous editions. You'll work through practical and diverse examples, from grid environments and games to stock trading and RL agents in web environments, to give you a well-rounded understanding of RL, its capabilities, and its use cases. You'll learn about key topics, such as deep Q-networks (DQNs), policy gradient methods, continuous control problems, and highly scalable, non-gradient methods.<br/>If you want to learn about RL through a practical approach using OpenAI Gym and PyTorch, concise explanations, and the incremental development of topics, then Deep Reinforcement Learning Hands-On, Third Edition, is your ideal companion<br/>*Email sign-up and proof of purchase required<br/>What You Will Learn:<br/>- Stay on the cutting edge with new content on MuZero, RL with human feedback, and LLMs<br/>- Evaluate RL methods, including cross-entropy, DQN, actor-critic, TRPO, PPO, DDPG, and D4PG<br/>- Implement RL algorithms using PyTorch and modern RL libraries<br/>- Build and train deep Q-networks to solve complex tasks in Atari environments<br/>- Speed up RL models using algorithmic and engineering approaches<br/>- Leverage advanced techniques like proximal policy optimisation (PPO) for more stable training
