In all, reinforcement learning suffers from the same limitations as regular machine learning. It’s an ideal option for domains that are evolving and where some data is unavailable at the start.

Reinforcement learning is a branch of machine learning concerned with using experience gained through interacting with the world and evaluative feedback to improve a system's ability to make ...

Reinforcement learning techniques could be the keys to integrating robots — who use machine learning to output more than words — into the real world.

Scientists at U.K.-based AI lab DeepMind argue true artificial intelligence will emerge from sticking to the principle of reward maximization.
