Deep Q-Networks

Definition

Deep Q-Networks are a type of artificial intelligence that uses deep learning to enable an agent to learn optimal actions in an environment through trial and error. This technique combines reinforcement learning with deep neural networks, allowing the agent to approximate the optimal action-value function, known as the Q-function. The network learns to predict the expected reward for taking a particular action in a given state, guiding the agent toward behaviors that maximize cumulative rewards over time. This approach has proven effective in complex decision-making scenarios.
