3 Balancing immediate and long-term goals
In this chapter
- You will learn about the challenges of learning from sequential feedback and how to properly balance immediate and long-term goals.
- You will develop algorithms that can find the best policies of behavior in sequential decision-making problems modeled with MDPs.
- You will find the optimal policies for all environments for which you built MDPs in the previous chapter.
