This received reward is assigned to the new state. Just like when we had to minimize the cost function in order to train our neural network, here the reinforcement learning agent has to maximize the overall reward to find the the optimal policy to solve a particular task.

How this is different from supervised and unsupervised learning?

In supervised learning, the training dataset has input features, X, and their corresponding ...
