Frequently asked questions
Reinforcement in training refers to the process of encouraging desired behaviors through rewards or penalties, guiding the learning process.
The main purpose is to enable an agent to learn optimal behavior by interacting with an environment and receiving feedback in the form of rewards.
The four key components are: the agent, the environment, actions, and rewards.
