[Classic] Playing Atari with Deep Reinforcement Learning (Paper Explained)

#ai #dqn #deepmind After the initial success of deep neural networks, especially convolutional neural networks on supervised image processing tasks, this paper was the first to demonstrate their applicability to reinforcement learning. Deep Q Networks learn from pixel input to play seven different Atari games and outperform baselines that require hand-crafted features. This paper kicked off the entire field of deep reinforcement learning and positioned DeepMind as one of the leading AI companies in the wor
