The course will provide a rigorous treatment of reinforcement learning by building on the mathematical foundations laid by optimal control, dynamic programming, and machine learning. Topics include model-based methods such as deterministic and stochastic dynamic programming, LQR and LQG control, as well as model-free methods that are broadly identified as Reinforcement Learning. In particular, we will cover on and off-policy tabular methods such as Monte Carlo, Temporal Differences, n-step bootstrapping, as well as approximate solution methods, including on- and off-policy approximation, policy gradient methods, including Deep Q-Learning. The course has a final project where students are expected to formulate and solve a problem based on the techniques learned in class.
