Overview of this book

Q-learning is a machine learning algorithm used to solve optimization problems in artificial intelligence (AI). It is one of the most popular fields of study among AI researchers. This book starts off by introducing you to reinforcement learning and Q-learning, in addition to helping you become familiar with OpenAI Gym as well as libraries such as Keras and TensorFlow. A few chapters into the book, you will gain insights into model-free Q-learning and use deep Q-networks and double deep Q-networks to solve complex problems. This book will guide you in exploring use cases such as self-driving vehicles and OpenAI Gym’s CartPole problem. You will also learn how to tune and optimize Q-networks and their hyperparameters. As you progress, you will understand the reinforcement learning approach to solving real-world problems. You will also explore how to use Q-learning and related algorithms in scientific research. Toward the end, you’ll gain insight into what’s in store for reinforcement learning. By the end of this book, you will be equipped with the skills you need to solve reinforcement learning problems using Q-learning algorithms with OpenAI Gym, Keras, and TensorFlow.

Summary

We've learned how neural networks work on a basic level and how to implement a simple network using NumPy. We learned about computing loss functions, gradient descent, and backpropagation to update the weights of a network and fit its internal function to a useful model of a dataset. We built our first Q-network using TensorFlow and gained an understanding of using the framework.

In the next chapter, we'll discuss how to improve on the Q-network that we built using methods such as experience replay and using images as input to a network. We'll be building a deep Q-network using Keras running on a TensorFlow backend. You can think of Keras as a wrapper or frontend for TensorFlow; it abstracts many of the functions that TensorFlow provides into an easy framework for building complex deep learning architectures.
