Reference for Deep Reinforcement Learning

There are different types of deep reinforcement learning methods.

If we use either value functions or policies to act on the environment, the method is called Model-free reinforcement learning:
   * Value-based methods
   * Policy-based methods

If we make use of models of the environment, it is referred to as Model-based reinforcement learning.

Slides from CMU: Introduction to Deep Reinforcement Learning

Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) is data inefficient and may require large amounts of data through millions of iterations to give results for simple tasks. To circumvent this, simulated environments are often used to train DRL models. There are some major practical gaps between simulated and real environments and this makes the models difficult to operate feasibly in the real-world. This is why DRL is used widely in closed environments like video games, but is difficult to apply in real-world environments. Some organizations use this by opting for a deep learning platform (platforms with large data sets and documentation easily available) to help them implement DRL.

Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) is a technology that combines the two, creating a sequential reinforcement learning process, in which deep learning determines the action taken at every stage.

Deep learning analyses a training set, identifies complex patterns and applies them to new data. 

Reinforcement learning works sequentially in an unknown environment━taking an action, evaluating the rewards, and adjusting the following actions accordingly.

Deep learning and reinforcement learning complement each other:

 - Reinforcement learning algorithms manage the sequential process of taking an action, evaluating the result, and selecting the next best action. However, they need a good mechanism to select the best action based on previous interactions.
 - Deep learning can be that mechanism━it is the most powerful method available today to learn the best outcome based on previous data.
