The first chapter described a reinforcement learning algorithm through the Q action-value function used by DQN. The agent was a driver. You are at the heart of DeepMind's approach to AI.
DeepMind is no doubt one of the world leaders in applied artificial intelligence. Scientific, mathematical, and applications research drives its strategy.
DeepMind was founded in 2010, was acquired by Google in 2014, and is now part of Alphabet, a collection of companies that includes Google.
One of the focuses of DeepMind is on reinforcement learning. They came up with an innovate version of reinforcement learning called DQN and referring to deep neural networks using the Q function (Bellman's equation). A seminal article published in February 2015 in Nature (see the link at the end of the chapter) shows how DQN outperformed other artificial intelligence research...
