A Look at the Project Ahead
- Design a reward function that shapes what an agent learns to do, rather than just scoring it after the fact
- Represent a game state as a compact set of features an agent can act on, instead of raw pixel or grid data
- Implement epsilon-greedy exploration so an agent balances trying new moves against using what it already knows
- Code the Q-learning update rule that improves an agent's estimates after every step
- Train an agent from nothing and evaluate it against a random baseline
