Introduction To Function Approximation In Rl

# Introduction To Function Approximation In RL: A Comprehensive Guide Imagine teaching a robot to play a complex video game like StarCraft. You can't possibly explore every single game state – the possibilities are virtually infinite! This is where function approximation comes in. Instead of memorizing a value for every state, we can use a function to *estimate* the value. This is crucial for scaling Reinforcement Learning (RL) to real-world problems. This guide will walk you through the fu
