DESCRIPTION:\nReinforcement learning is inspired by the way people and mos
 t animals learn to interact with an environment. Animals are motivated by 
 reward: they try actions and then try to remember the corresponding reward
 . Later\, if they are in a similar situation\, they can remember what acti
 on needed to be taken to achieve a reward. During my talk I will explore t
 he basics of reinforcement learning\, go into more depth of the DQN algori
 thm applied on Atari games and explore ways the algorithm can be improved.
  I will also introduce the AC3 (Asynchronous Advantage Actor-Critic) algor
 ithm and explore successes and current research opportunities in the area.
