Tabular Q Learning
Tabular Q-learning is a reinforcement learning algorithm that aims to find optimal decision-making policies by iteratively updating a table representing the expected future reward for each state-action pair. Current research focuses on improving its efficiency and applicability, including optimizing its performance on specialized hardware, developing methods for effective state variable selection to reduce computational complexity, and adapting it for challenging environments like those with bimodal reward distributions. These advancements enhance the algorithm's practicality for real-world applications such as traffic control, assembly sequence planning, and even goal recognition, where its ability to learn from data and optimize for specific objectives is proving valuable.
