Chapter 10: Introducing Machine Teaching

The great excitement about reinforcement learning is, to a significant extent, due to its similarities to human learning: An RL agent learns from experience. This is also why many consider it as the path to artificial general intelligence. On the other hand, if you think about it, reducing human learning to just trial and error would be a gross underestimation. We don't discover everything we know, in science, art, engineering, from scratch when we are born! Instead, we build on the knowledge and civilization that have evolved over thousands of years! We transfer this knowledge among us through various, structured or unstructured forms of teaching. This capability makes it possible for us to gain skills ...
