Learner Reviews & Feedback for Sample-based Learning Methods by University of Alberta
About the Course
environment---learning from the agent’s own experience. Learning from actual experience is striking because it requires no prior knowledge of
the environment’s dynamics, yet can still attain optimal behavior. We will cover intuitively simple but powerful Monte Carlo methods, and
temporal difference learning methods including Q-learning. We will wrap up this course investigating how we can get the best of both worlds:
algorithms that can combine model-based planning (similar to dynamic programming) and temporal difference updates to ra...

Excellent course that naturally extends the first specialization course. The application examples in programming are very good and I loved how RL gets closer and closer to how a living being thinks.
