This book provides a clear and simple account of the key ideas and algorithms of reinforcement learning, which ranges from the history of the field's intellectual foundations to the most recent developments and applications.Abstract:
Reinforcement learning, one of the most active research areas in artificial intelligence, is a computational approach to learning whereby an agent tries to maximize the total amount of reward it receives when interacting with a complex, uncertain environment. In Reinforcement Learning, Richard Sutton and Andrew Barto provide a clear and simple account of the key ideas and algorithms of reinforcement learning. Their discussion ranges from the history of the field's intellectual foundations to the most recent developments and applications. The only necessary mathematical background is familiarity with elementary concepts of probability. The book is divided into three parts. Part I defines the reinforcement learning problem in terms of Markov decision processes. Part II provides basic solution methods: dynamic programming, Monte Carlo methods, and temporal-difference learning. Part III presents a unified view of the solution methods and incorporates artificial neural networks, eligibility traces, and planning; the two final chapters present case studies and consider the future of reinforcement learning.read more

Deep Learning
TL;DR: Deep learning as mentioned in this paper is a form of machine learning that enables computers to learn from experience and understand the world in terms of a hierarchy of concepts, and it is used in many applications such as natural language processing, speech recognition, computer vision, online recommendation systems, bioinformatics, and videogames.

TL;DR: Using this search algorithm, the program AlphaGo achieved a 99.8% winning rate against other Go programs, and defeated the human European Go champion by 5 games to 0.5, the first time that a computer program has defeated a human professional player in the full-sized game of Go.
Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning
TL;DR: Probability distributions of linear models for regression and classification are given in this article, along with a discussion of combining models and combining models in the context of machine learning and classification.

Strategy Learning with Multilayer Connectionist Representations
TL;DR: A two-layer connectionist system is presented that develops its search from a weak to a task-specific strategy and fine-tunes its performance, applied to a simulated, real-time, balance-control task.

Comparisons of channel assignment strategies in cellular mobile telephone systems
Ming Zhang,Tak-Shing Peter Yum +1 more
TL;DR: The locally optimized dynamic assignment (LODA) strategy and the borrowing with directional channel locking (BDCL) strategy are proposed and computer simulations show that the average call-blocking probability of the BDCL strategy is always the lowest.

Learning control systems--Review and outlook
TL;DR: The basic concept of learning control is introduced, and the following five learning schemes are briefly reviewed: 1) trainable controllers using pattern classifiers, 2) reinforcement learning control systems, 3) Bayesian estimation, 4) stochastic approximation, and 5) Stochastic automata models.
Journal Article
Learning by statistical cooperation of self-interested neuron-like computing elements.
TL;DR: It is argued that some of the longstanding problems concerning adaptation and learning by networks might be solvable by this form of cooperativity, and computer simulation experiments are described that show how networks of self-interested components that are sufficiently robust can solve rather difficult learning problems.
