General Policy Iteration

General Policy Iteration (GPI) is a fundamental framework in reinforcement learning that involves iteratively evaluating and improving a policy to optimize the expected return from an environment, based on the principle of optimality.

Overview

General Policy Iteration is a fundamental concept in reinforcement learning that focuses on the iterative process of evaluating and improving policies. By alternating between these two steps, agents can gradually refine their strategies to maximize rewards in various environments. Understanding this...

Key Terms

Policy
A strategy that defines the actions to take in different states.

Example: A policy could dictate that a robot moves left when it sees an obstacle.

Value Function
A function that estimates the expected return of a state or action.

Example: The value function might indicate that being in state A is worth 10 points.

Optimal Policy
The best policy that maximizes the expected reward.

Example: An optimal policy for a game would lead to winning the game every time.

Markov Decision Process (MDP)
A mathematical framework for modeling decision-making where outcomes are partly random.

Example: MDPs are used to model situations like board games.

Exploration
The act of trying new actions to discover their effects.

Example: In a maze, exploration might involve trying different paths.

Exploitation
Choosing the best-known action based on current knowledge.

Example: In a maze, exploitation would mean taking the path that has led to success before.
