Web Navigation
We will now take a look at some other practical applications of reinforcement learning (RL): web navigation and browser automation. This is a really useful example of how RL methods could be applied to a practical problem, including the complications you might face and how they could be addressed.
In this chapter, we will:
-
Discuss web navigation in general and the practical application of browser automation
-
Explore how web navigation can be solved with an RL approach
-
Take a deep look at one very interesting, but commonly overlooked and a bit abandoned, RL benchmark that was implemented by OpenAI, called Mini World of Bits (MiniWoB).
