What the hell is reinforcement learning and how does it work?

Reinforcement learning is a subset of machine learning. It enables an agent to learn through the consequences of actions in a specific environment. It can be used to teach a robot new tricks, for example. Reinforcement learning is a behavioral learning model where the algorithm provides data analysis feedback, directing the user to the best result. It differs from other forms of supervised learning because the sample data set does not train the machine. Instead, it learns by trial and error. Therefore, a series of right decisions would strengthen the method as it better solves the problem. Reinforced learning is…
