Applications of reinforcement learning with integration of machine learning and deep learning


Reinforcement learning combined with machine learning, or deep learning, has created state-of-the-art artificial intelligence solutions for various cutting-edge problems in recent times. A complete explanation with code examples is beyond the scope of this book, but we will give you a high-level view of what is inside these technologies. The following are the most popular and known recent trends in this field, but the applications are not just restricted to these:

  • Automotive vehicle control (self-driving cars)
  • Google DeepMind AlphaGo for playing Go games
  • Robotics (with a soccer example)

Automotive vehicle control - self-driving cars

Self-driving cars are the new trend in the industry and many tech giants are working in this area now. Deep learning technologies, like convolutional neural networks, are used to learn Q-functions which control the actions, like moving forward, backward, taking left and right...
