Reinforcement Learning Algorithms with Python

Best practices of deep RL

Throughout this book, we covered plenty of reinforcement learning algorithms, some of which are only upgrades (for example TD3, A2C, and so on), while others were fundamentally different from the others (such as TRPO and DPG) and propose an alternative way to reach the same objective. Moreover, we addressed non-RL optimization algorithms such as imitation learning and evolution strategies to solve sequential decision-making tasks. All of these alternatives may have created confusion and you may not know exactly which algorithm is best for a particular problem. If that is the case, don't worry, as we'll now go through some rules that you can use in order to decide which is the best algorithm to use for a given task. ...
