دانلود کتاب مقدمه‌ای بر یادگیری تقویتی عمیق

The idea of putting information in a digital form is quite simple and seems an ordinary technical advance in hindsight. Over a period, many scientists and engineers nurtured it at a steady pace, and finally made it possible for the society to usher in the age of digital revolution. In a relatively very short time by historical standards, it has transformed the modern civilization and changed the workings of vast swaths of our private, working, and social lives beyond recognition. The idea of machine learning has been one of the key innovations in this regard. Machines, specifically those which can think and act like humans, have been the stuff of science fiction for a long time. At some deeper level, this concept also connects to our quest for understanding the essence of human intelligence and consciousness. We are still very far from solving that puzzle, but the impulse has resulted in very rapid advances in the fields of machine learning. We have also found that these thinking machines can solve many problems in better and faster ways compared to humans. This book presents a high- level view of the fast developing discipline of the Reinforcement Learning in its basic and more sophisticated aspects. Hopefully, it will inspire the reader to take a deeper dive into this subject as well as help understand the coming revolution in every aspect of society based on these ideas.
