Introduction to Reinforcement Learning and Markov Decision Process

From beating the best players at games like Go to creating robots that perform complex manipulation tasks, RL is revolutionizing the future of AI and it's impact on the world. Given an environment, an RL agent's job is to learn the environment and perform actions that are most rewarding. In this talk, Vishal Kumar breaks down the basic premise under which an RL algorithm operates and how it can be applied to solve real world problems.
