About Program:
Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a key area of machine learning where agents learn optimal actions by maximizing cumulative rewards in an environment. It lies at the heart of AI systems capable of autonomous learning and decision-making. This workshop combines theory, coding, and cutting-edge applications, enabling participants to develop intelligent systems powered by RL.
Aim: The Reinforcement Learning (RL) Workshop is designed to introduce learners to the core principles, algorithms, practical applications, and emerging frontiers of reinforcement learning. Participants will understand how RL agents learn from interactions, optimize performance through feedback, and apply these methods to domains like robotics, gaming, finance, healthcare, and AI research.
Program Objectives:
- To provide a strong conceptual and practical foundation in reinforcement learning
- To teach key RL algorithms and their variants, with real-world implementation
- To explore applications of RL across industries and domains
- To introduce advanced methods and current frontiers in RL research
- To highlight ethical concerns, safety, and AI alignment issues in RL systems
