Reinforcement learning is an advanced machine learning technique that makes short-term decisions while optimizing for a longer-term goal through trial and error. Ian Massingham dives into state-of-the-art techniques in deep reinforcement learning (DRL) for a variety of use cases. He also explores the efforts that AWS has been making to make DRL accessible to a broader population of software developers. This keynote is sponsored by AWS.
