The video game's algorithm can be described as a form of reinforcement learning. The grid where the Pac-Man eats pellets while avoiding ghosts is its environment.

The results show that reinforcement learning can do more than master board games. When trained to solve long-standing puzzles in protein science, the software excelled at creating useful molecules.

Reinforcement learning is the process by which a machine learning algorithm, robot, etc. can be programmed to respond to complex, real-time and real-world environments to optimally reach a desired ...

For the last few years, Seattle-based software engineer Peter Whidden has been training a reinforcement learning algorithm to navigate the classic first game of the Pokémon series — in that ...

A lot of previous reinforcement learning algorithms use intrinsic reward, which means you get rewarded for going somewhere new, which does work, but the entire idea of an intrinsic reward is that it ...
