Reinforcement Learning: Machine Learning Meets Control Theory

Reinforcement learning is a powerful technique at the intersection of machine learning and control theory, and it is inspired by how biological systems learn to interact with their environment. In this video, we provide a high level overview of reinforcement learning, along with leading algorithms and impressive applications.
