Since the agent is learning by example, the need for random search actions or exploration is eliminated and training performance improves dramatically. Unity has a Tennis example that makes a good candidate to demonstrate this type of training. Let's jump to the next exercise where we set up imitation learning:

  1. Open the Tennis scene located in the Assets/ML-Agents/Examples/Tennis folder.
