Learning Outcomes
Competences
Students are able to apply deep reinforcement learning (DRL) techniques, integrating deep learning with reinforcement learning to develop intelligent agents capable of decision-making in complex environments. They can design, implement, and optimize DRL models, applying them to real-world problems.
Skills Knowledge
  • Implementing Deep Reinforcement Learning Algorithms (k3)

Students are able to implement DRL algorithms such as Deep Q-Networks (DQN), Policy Gradient methods, and Actor-Critic approaches in practical applications.

  • Training and Optimizing DRL Agents (k5)

Students can train DRL agents using techniques like experience replay, reward shaping, and exploration strategies to improve learning efficiency and stability.

  • Applying DRL in Real-World Scenarios (k5)

Students are able to apply DRL models to complex environments, such as robotics, autonomous driving, and strategic game playing, ensuring robust decision-making under uncertainty.

  • Evaluating DRL Model Performance (k5)

Students can assess the effectiveness of DRL models by analyzing learning curves, reward signals, and policy stability, adjusting hyperparameters for optimal performance.

  • Understanding the Challenges and Limitations of DRL (k5)

Students are capable of identifying the challenges of DRL, such as sample inefficiency, reward sparsity, and exploration-exploitation trade-offs, proposing solutions to mitigate these issues.

Students possess knowledge of deep reinforcement learning principles, covering key techniques such as Deep Q-Learning, Policy Gradients, and Actor-Critic methods. They know how to apply DRL to various domains, optimizing agent behavior in dynamic and uncertain environments.
