Book Review: Deep Reinforcement Learning Hands-On

RL is a hugely popular area of deep learning, and many data scientists are exploring this AI technology to broaden their skillet to include a number of important problem domains like chatbots, robotics, discrete optimization, web automation and much more. As a result of this wide-spread interest in RL, there are many available educational resources specifically tailored to this class of deep learning – boot camps, training certificates, educational specializations, etc. But if you’re a data scientist who has been programming in Python for a while, and has some experience with other forms of deep learning using a framework like TensorFlow, then maybe this new book, “Deep Reinforcement Learning Hands-On,” by Maxim Lapan, might be a great way to kick-start yourself into becoming productive with RL.

New Salesforce Research AI Simulates Millions of Years of Economic Data Using RL
