Preface

The topic of this book is Reinforcement Learning—which is a subfield of Machine Learning—focusing on the general and challenging problem of learning optimal behavior in complex environment. The learning process is driven only by reward value and observations obtained from the environment. This model is very general and can be applied to many practical situations from playing games to optimizing complex manufacture processes.

Due to flexibility and generality, the field of Reinforcement Learning is developing very quickly and attracts lots of attention both from researchers trying to improve existing or create new methods, as well as from practitioners interested in solving their problems in the most efficient way.
