Reinforced learning algorithms

The final type of ML is reinforced learning. This is a process where the machine learns by itself based on a reward system. In reinforced learning, there is generally an environment and an agent, and the agent is typically the machine. Let's say that the environment is in state A and an agent performs action A on this environment and observes how the state changes. Based on the action, the new state, and the reward returned by the environment, the machine learns.

Think of reinforced learning as a machine learning how to ride a bike. If the machine is able to move forward, it receives a reward, and if the machine falls down because it lost its balance, it is not rewarded.

Reinforced learning forms the basis of ...
