Guillem Duran: "Reinforcement learning for developers"

Description
Reinforcement learning for developers
 
Reinforcement learning is about developing strategies to solve decision-making problems. This field has been dominated for researchers and people with an academical background, and some of the concepts may appear confusing to people coming from different areas.
This talk will be about introducing reinforcement learning from a developer’s perspective. We will start explaining the core concepts of the discipline with no mathematical formulation involved, showing the latest achievements in this field, and providing a list of useful resources about the topic.
Then, we will talk about the infrastructure required to solve an RL problem, what are the different open source tools at our disposal, and what are best practices when implementing RL algorithms.
Finally, we will show a practical example of how to code, train, and use an agent capable of solving an Atari Game (MsPacman) with an state of the art algorithm.
