Tabular RL Reinforcement Learning

Open paper AskPDF arXiv

rl_rob is an open-source Python library for teaching reinforcement learning. It implements the arc of a modern course, from tabular temporal-difference learning through linear function approximation to deep value-based and policy-gradient methods, with every algorithm written from first principles so that its update rule is visible in a few lines of code. All agents share one interface, so learners can compare methods directly across stages and trace a deep reinforcement learning update from the temporal-difference error to the weight change. The library supports teaching and assessment in which students implement, modify and explain update rules, rather than only produce working code.
